      Stories like this are why I get irritated when I see my fellow physicians defending surprise medical billing by out-of-network physicians. They’re also why I scoff when I see politicians say how people love their private medical insurance.https://twitter.com/Sblahov/status/1198462404482478080 …

      I am stunned. I just got a bill from my May 22 hospital stay at @sibleyonline from an UNSOLICITED SURGERY CONSULT, from Dr. Thomas Zorc & his nurse who don't take my insurance. For these unwanted 10 minutes I now owe $2,300. CC @DonBeyerVA @MarkWarner @timkaine 1/

      So we should just sign every contract? I hope you don’t shop for cell phone or cable that way... corporate abuse of labor includes physicians. They write the rules, then vilify us for not accepting non-negotiable rates

      If you support what this physician did to this patient, I will physically kick your ass out of any hospital room occupied by any loved one of mine.

      I suspected my Tweet would tick some off my colleagues off.

          I have to wonder why he immediately went to "You're telling me to sign every contract!"

          What do you think “out of network” means?

          You can be irritated, and that is reasonable but the whole situation is owned by the media that works for insurance companies including @KHNews and @NPR ( which I support) Doctors have no great record to stand on for sure, but didn’t build this...
