Typically when you are visiting the doctor for a routine visit, you only think about what you see when you go. You often think of the receptionist checking you in for your appointment, the nurses that ask all the preliminary questions, and obviously the doctor that you see. But there is so much more that goes into that one visit than what meets the eye. Behind each and every doctor’s office stands a medical billing company that takes care of charging each patient and collecting their money from the patients and more importantly from the insurance companies involved.

It is often impossible to hire in-house staff for preparing medical billing, because they may not have in-depth knowledge and time to handle claims. Many health care providers resort to medical billing outsourcing which involves the hiring of billing professionals. The medical billing company acts as a consultant for the doctor. The company assists the doctor in handling all medical billing needs, coding practices, and preparation of fee structure. A good medical billing outsourcing company is a great method of maximizing the average earning of a doctor than employing an in-house biller.

A lot of income is lost by medical facilities whose staff is overwhelmed by all the forms and paperwork involved in collecting medical debt. Many clinics and hospitals are now saving money by outsourcing their billing functions. Medical billing companies are very well versed in filling out all the forms involved in the billing process. They are able to bill current debt and also act as a collection agency, billing past due fees.

Removing an aspect of the practice like medical billing, frees the doctor to practice medicine. They no longer need to worry about contacting the insurance company for rejected claims. They do not need to focus on hiring office staff that is familiar with medical billing or coding of claims. They can be assured of quick payment and accurate claims. Patients can be reassured that they are not being billed incorrectly. Delegating this responsibility to another party makes good business sense.

The 2Mb broadband plan which was released with much fanfare will have a much more difficult task than what was previously thought, as a report released by BBC News Online reveals that as many as 3 million homes are yet to benefit from faster broadband connections.

The BBC report, in reference to the government’s 2Mb broadband-for-all scheme, shows that the government’s promises are based on a weak foundation. Surprisingly, the houses which have been unfortunate enough to either be left out completely in terms of fast broadband or are barely inching past the 1.5Mb mark, are not just the ones situated in rural areas. Many of these houses are located in the vicinity of major commercial cities and even London’s commuter belt.

Some of the worst performing regions are a short distance away from fast fibre cables but still have to contend with dismal broadband connections. The interim Digital Britain report had used the results of an earlier BT study to estimate the number of homes which currently cannot access 2Mb speeds, and had found the figure to be 7 percent. However, if the BBC report is to be believed, the earlier estimates were grossly off the mark.

The reasons being listed for this dismal performance range from ownership issues concerning the fibre cables, to question marks on profitability in expansion of cables. Moreover, landmarks like the M1 are adding to the woes by restricting the expansion of cables, or making them take a longer circuitous route. Suffering broadband woes?

Though the proposed satellite and mobile broadband may solve the problem to some extent, many believe that this disparity between hotspots and ‘notspots’ is not going to go away easily.

Nothing President Bush said last night (5/15/06) will have any real impact on illegal immigration. I hate to criticize the President but that’s my professional opinion. I have several payroll companies that prepare payroll for businesses around the country.

Immigration, legal and illegal, is driven by the opportunities offered in this country. Those opportunities exist because we have the “Three Rules of Wealth” as I use to call them when I taught High School.

1. “Rule of Law” You know the rules and they don’t fundamentally change, and you know the consequences of your behavior if you violate them.
2. “Private Property” You get to own the tools of wealth creation. Tangible and intangible assets that let you create profits. “”Rule Number One” guarantees this”
3. “Free Enterprise” You are not restricted to what you can do as long as you follow “Rule Number One” using “Rule Number Two.”

You are not going to keep people out when these rules apply to them even if they are illegal. If they did not apply employers would steal from illegal immigrants, banks would just seize their accounts, school districts would turn away their children, hospitals would refuse to treat them, etc.

So how do you keep illegal immigrants out of the country? Cut them off from the opportunities that the “Three Rules of Wealth” provide. How do you do that?

First you must have a perfect system of identifying citizens and legal aliens. Sorry, but it means a national identity system. Which, by the way, solves the big ongoing criminal problem of identity theft. Why not just make the illegal immigrants carry an ID card, because they won’t.

Second, penalize businesses that hire illegal immigrants severely. Make it a felony to hire an illegal. All businessmen like an edge. Some currently get the edge by hiring cheap illegal labor and taking advantage of it. No business is wrongly hurt if the playing field is leveled. If average wages go up they go up for every company and everybody raises their price to compensate. This will also appeal to the conservatives because once illegal immigrants can’t get a job many will go home.

Third cut off all benefits for illegal immigrants. No schools, no free hospitals, no food stamps, no welfare, no sanctuary, no government benefits no nothing. No prison either. Hard labor until they pay for there transportation out of country. If their country of origin wont take them hard labor till they someone does or they die.

Fourth seize their bank accounts, seize any property they own, take their cars and houses. Remember they are criminals the moment they cross the border without documents or overstay their visa. Give half to the person that identifies them as an illegal and half to the government.

My guess is in 30 days after this plan is enacted that 90% or more of all illegal immigrants will have left the country. When you take away all opportunity in this country, the opportunity however meager, in their country of origin will seem desirable.

Children of immigrants that are citizens can not be deported. That is part of the “Rule of Law”. If their parents who must leave don’t want to take them then set up orphanages until they are 18. Educate, feed, house, cloth, and care for them. They are fellow citizens after all.

Is this harsh, yes of course. Nothing else will stop people from seeking a better life. You must make what they have where they came from to appear to be better than what is available in the United States. Nothing less will do. Otherwise the strong, motivated, hard working people of the world that want a better life for themselves and their families will continue to come hear regardless of the current penalties that they know are not enforced.

Do I agree that this is what we should do. Absolutely Not.

This is no way to treat people. But nothing less will stop them from coming and coming and coming. Which is not necessarily bad. If people are going to come here we want strong, hard working, motivated people like our own ancestors that emigrated here or survived the imposed hardships of slavery and lived through it. How to integrate them into the “American Dream” is a whole different discussion.
