“You may correctly assume that I have much better things to do with my time than to argue with and complain about a government contractor that is not performing as specified. My full attention should be given to my patients and their families, my staff, my practice and my family and friends. The amount of effort I have given to this issue never should have been necessary but I will do whatever it takes to protect my patients and my practice and to make sure everyone gets a fair deal. I do not believe that the United States government is getting what it contracted for, optimum dental health for military families through a fee-for-service dental plan. Indications are that we are entering into an ordeal with Concordia where only Concordia is benefitting. I will jump off the letter for a minute to remind you that they are going to get their 25 percent of that $1.7 billion. I bet it works for the company. He goes on to say: Because of situations like this, those of us in the trenches work ourselves to the bone and then have to scramble to meet our overhead.”
