Fueling stations

Does anyone believe that they accurately measure to the 1/1000 of a gallon?

All of the time. There is no negotiation when an individual physician signs a contract with an insurance company.

there is no negotiation (as far as i know) with medicare/medicaid.


Correct again. And insurance companies base their rates on Medicare allowable rates.

Now physician groups can and will lobby Congress to get better rates.

Their profits are great, their margins aren't. They make money on quantity, not margin.

Not hardly. Where can you go get the shite you get at WalMart for less money ?

I submit that the banking industry, particularly investment banks are not only ripping us all off but they are using that money to keep their stooges in government in power.

Walmart rips off its employees, paying them sub-standard wages, wages so low they have to receive government benefits. We, the taxpayers, subsidize the Walton family's lavish lifestyle.

I hate Walmart.
