You probably want your doctor to care about people, but how much do you want her to care about all of them? Thats the question I ask when I read articles-generally by bioethicists, often respectable ones-asserting that one of the moral responsibilities of physicians is to be responsible stewards of the healthcare dollar.
This rhetoric concerns me, because I worry it may ultimately degrade the already-challenged physician-patient relationship.
The cornerstone of medicine, the most fundamental principle, in my mind, is the absolute, rock-solid belief that your doctor is your unqualified advocate and will work as hard as possible to provide you with the best medical treatment possible, as if you were a member of her own family (Dr. Ma

It is unfortunate that this person has decided to behave in that manner. It is also unfortunate that you didn’t get the name of their insurance company. At this point, all you can really do is contact your insurance company and hand it off to them. They have the resources to find out what insurance company the person has. This is also part of their job and is what you, with your premium, are in part paying them for. If neither you, nor your insurance company, can find out, you may have to take the person to court.

There are as many types of coverage for commercial auto insurance as there are for regular insurance. In many cases, they are the same. Coverages available for business automobiles are:

However, parking tickets can impair your ability to renew your vehicle registration. Therefore, while they won’t affect coverage, they will affect your ability to legally drive your car. If you aren’t careful, you may end up with a Denver Boot or other immobilization device attached to your car. Your best bet is just to pay the parking tickets as they come, instead of just avoiding them.
