Thanks for the heads up; I totally missed the date. Geeze.

He also didn't mention the ACA, which should have been a yellow flag.

I have a relative in the pain management business -- and I do mean business. He's an internal medicine doc, making over a million a year, probably substantially more in fact, by focusing on a lucrative niche of people with whiplash, back aches, etc. The trick is to process them through as quickly as possible. He gets 40-60 patients a day, and each billing between $60 and $800 depending on the condition. If you puncture someone, e.g. shot for sciatic pain, the billable is $800 to $1200. Pain pills might be worth $100. With enough numbers, and keep the personnel costs down by using medical assistants, and you've got a really lucrative practice.
