What kind of outfit do you work for?
It's totally dysfunctional. It's our healthcare system. I get "paid" by Medicare and Blue Cross and Aetna etc. but THEY dictate how much I get paid. I still have to pay my rent and my staff and my other expenses (which keep going up) so whatever is left after all that is paid is my "salary" which is sadly about half of what it was 10 years ago. The only "benefit" of this setup is I allegedly am my own boss and have alleged autonomy compared to an employed "provider."
At this rate I will be working at the LBS or Chipotle in a few more years. Or else sell out to the healthcare system and be a cog in the Machine.
