Exclamation

I want to add that my example of the problem to reform medical coverage is just one.

I can add several more.
Malpractice, some cases are valid, most IMHO are not. If nothing else Doctors, Nurses etc are human, not GODs. Mistakes happen, remember when an accident was an accident, not a lottery ticket.

Extraneous tests, many times related to the above.

A question I have had, hospitals and outpatient facilities have all this expensive fancy equipment (Xray, MRI ...) used 9 to 5 M/F. Maybe some Saturday, gee put in half as many use them 6 to midnight, wouldn't you rather go for a MRI or ... at 9PM rather than take a day off work.

Like gas stations, they build speciality medical things next to each other. Competing with each other, ie a Proton ??? is proposed here SW of Chicago, there are only a dozen or less nationwide, AND one is to be built but afew miles from an existing one.

Any other examples ???
