Pardon my ignorance, but I've no idea how you get paid, so I don't know what is a "primary" raise is, per hour? per case? base rate?
|
One of my jobs is a sort of floating salary, the rest are hourly fee, different for different jobs and different work environments. I have one primary and 4 - 5 contractual relationships.

If the pie is "fixed", why are the costs of medical care shooting up so fast?

Well there are lots of answers to that, few of them have to do with providers getting paid more at the bottom end of patient to provider contact.

Do you mean the section of the pie, that you get a piece of, is fixed?

In my case it is because it is a government contract, every three years when the contract is bid on they have to make adjustments to lure various specialties to each area of need. They have to give and take to attract the business, win the contract, and hire the needs, and make a profit. Each of those elements is subject to adjustments up or down within the framework of a set amount awarded by the government.
