However, the reimbursements through medicaid demand that the providers avail themselves of other resources from "paying" patients since the government reimbursements are substandard, that in effect the providers are underwritng the cost of care. Recieving 50 cents on the dollar leaves pediatricians and other providers to subsidize the care provided to our patients. The solution is for everyone to have a true health insurance policy, i.e. universal coverage, and get the government and physician subsidy out of the picture.
