re: #729 opnion

We are between a rock & a hard place. The quality of care in the U.S is the best in the world but it is too expensive. Margins are too high, there is unbundling & upcoding as well as defensive medicine to avoid law suits which results in over treatment.
The system could be reformed, but it looks like Obama wants to destroy the system & give us socialized medicine.

The defensive medicine thing is a real rpoblem. I once had an MRI for one problem, and the radiologist wrote up this weird thing about something totally unrelated-the way my bone marrow looked. Once my doctor got the test results, he had no choice but to order a bunch of additional expensive tests because even though he thought it was just BS, he had to cover his butt because the radiologist was covering his own.
