The Hypocrisy and High Stakes of Healthcare Reform

I'm always interested in how the doctors get off so easily in this debate. They do too many tests and surgeries (40% of hysterectomies are unnecessary) then hide behind the excuse that its all because of lawsuits...NO ITS NOT!! Its because they make money at this game, they make so much money. And why would they not make money when their "customers" aren't paying the tab? So when the doc says you need an MRI for this and that, no patient has the motivation to say "no I don't!!" The docs are here as greedy as the insurance companies and the drug companies. I know because I have had the exact same surgery in Germany and in California. One cost 10 times more than the other, guess which? Quality was superb in Germany too, and I was a private patient. Lets face it Obama has opened a can of greedy worms, no wonder there is such a fuss about all this.
