hello. the healthcare industry is doing so well that its powerful lobby wants taxpayers to pay for such things as: coallescing medical information, insurance dishonesty, and waste. have you ridden in an $80/mile ambulance? does your $6 aspirin relieve your headache? will your overpriced prescriptions take away the healthy appetite you need to feel better: but can no longer afford to buy? are taxpayer doctors, with performance initiatives, what we the suffering want? this type of medical care will cost hundreds of times more as doctors throw everything they’ve got to cure their patient for the carrot. that is more business and less practice.
