Actually someone else hit the nail on the head, the govt. doesn't have
it's hand in the vet business.

Veterinarians, by and large, are compassionate health care providers
who are often forced to turn away suffering animals because their
"owners" either can't pay the bill or refuse to pay it. Sometimes a
Vet will perform surgery and eat the bill, because he or she is
willing to provide a service to save someone's friend. The majority
of independent veterinary hospitals are just getting by, despite
pricing that seems extreme considering the often diminuitive size of
their patients, but, compare the cost of Veterinary care to that of
Human care and you'll notice a drastic difference. In truth, the
problem goes back to the Olde English Class system. Physicians are
upper class. They are the barons of health care. The manor houses
we call Hospitals demand an incredible amount of money to operate.
Someone must pay the bills. Mercedes, BMWs, Cadillacs... Country
Club memberships... Big houses in the country... All of that costs
Big Bucks!
To be fair, new medical equipment is very costly, as well. The
small town Doctor who still makes house calls can't afford to buy
such equipment for his office, and this gets frustrating, so he
closes his practice and moves to the big city, leaving those who
have not with nowhere to turn for health care.
It's all economics. The year is 2009. Why has no one corrected
this mess yet?
Congress should work together to find an acceptable solution.
