@tdoriausername And it’s going to get even worse. It used to be that there were a few bad actors - or misguided practitioners - here and there. Now, they are endemic.
VC groups in charge of large hospital systems and specialty groups forcibly push doctors into procedure driven care…Why? THAT’s where the big$$ is. Why get paid a few hundred for a wellness exam when you can bill for a procedure and all the adjunctive services that go with it?
United Health Care, the huge insurance conglomerate also owns hospitals - yes, you heard correctly. They’ve recently been indicted for fraudulent billing in some bizarro scam to take $$ from one pocket and put it in the other, which somehow affected their bottom line very favorably…
You now have to question not only the treatment, but if you are even sick at all…so sad…
