Our Brief Interview
When I caught up with David during a recent house-call visit, we discussed many things; especially the American Affordable Health Choices Act [HR-3200]. Unfortunately; I did not have my audio-recorder with me. So, here are a few points of interest about him that I jotted down, from memory, in my ever-present reporter’s notebook. No doubt, I missed many more:
- He became a physician as a career change in mid-life.
- He has read HR 3200 in its’ entirety.
- He hired an attorney for HR 3200 interpretation and review.
- He is for healthcare reform, but against HR 3200.
- He is against a public health care plan.
- He is against individual insurance mandates.
- He does 10-12 house-calls every month.
- He does not charge MC, MD or VA house-call patients; rarely bills them and/or accepts assignment without balance billing.
- He regularly operates on same, under similar terms.
- He does other pro-bono work.
- He practices defensive medicine.
- He is for tort reform.
- He is not a member of the AMA with no plans to join.

About Off Road with Dr. Marcinko
These sporadic off-road segments will continue through-out my 2009 summer promotional tour.

Our many local book stores and sponsors noted a spike in our CD and book sales, as well as interest in our online www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.com program and premier quarterly guide: Healthcare Organizations [Journal of Financial Management Strategies] www.HealthcareFinancials.com
