Thanks to the reimbursement/payment policies of the insurance companies, doctors are now on a timer in order to make enough money from insurance payments to stay open. It’s not as if he doesn’t care…he doesn’t have time to care. It’s all about MONEY, not about health care. You want health care—it’s up to you to stay healthy so that you don’t have to deal with that crap. It’s a mill that only wants to “diagnose and adios” and then treat rather than cure. If they cure things, they don’t get paid anymore. If they treat things, they get “evergreen income” by having you come back for tests, visits, advise, tests, visits, advise, over and over and over.
