Doctors Not as Wealthy

My father is a physician and many people make the assumption that because he is a doctor, that he has an abundance of wealth. The truth is, he would be more wealthy if he was not being cheated out of some money from insurance companies. Insurance cuts a huge portion of my father's income down because these companies refuse to pay for certain people's medical bills causing the amount received by him to be increasingly lower than it should be. I respect my dad for all of the things he has to deal with at the work place because for how hard he works, maybe he should be making that portion of the money that insurance takes out. The assumption that all doctors are rich and wealthy are not so valid, because for the amount of schooling my dad endured, I feel he should be making more money then he actually is.
