LA County doctors working for free since July 2009

Did you know that LA County suspended payment to doctors treating uninsured patients on July 1 2009, and just reinstated payment this week? These docs have been working for free since then, and are now making almost half of what they were paid a year ago.

On the other side of that coin, Anthem is moving to raise premiums for individual policy holders up to 39%, at a time when its parent compnay (and industry as a whole) is earning billions in profits.
