Healthcare is also being hit by budget cuts, reduced staffs, hiring freezes, reduced fees, etc. It has not been affected this drastically for some time and it is a change in the process as a whole that will take time for the industry to adjust.

I always say there is enough business for us all to make money; let's serve our clients with THEIR best interest in mind NOT our bank account.<br />
