The way this country privatizes everything seems to provide a perverse incentive for doctors inclined to profit as their primary motive. A 'specialist' I went to a couple years ago sent me to get expensive diagnostic scans, x-rays and MRI. When I went for follow-up, he could not find the x-rays. He insisted I needed an outpatient surgery, but got angry when I asked him to discuss it, alternatives and why he thought surgery was necessary. He acted indignant and I got disgusted and told him I would not be coming back. I could not shake the impression that he just wanted to get paid for surgery he would not explain to me. I got well and never did the surgery. I will never go back to that jerk.

I don't see how you can fairly leap from that to an insurer murdering its customers to save money. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
