Please. There are fixed number of law school spots, a fixed number of dental school spots, a fixed number of spots at colleges in almost any field.

And lawyers/dentists, and so many others have licensure boards, that mandate quality.

Stop acting like medicine is different and it’s out of the ordinary. It isn’t, You’re just a paranoid nut.

As Tony Soprano would say “This one, always with the drama”

Simply forking over more money to the Haliburtons of healthcare is not the answer.

If the federal government would allow patients to pay the difference between their "allowable" and market rates this problem would be solved, and without any tax hike. “Easily done?

As I recall, that’s repeated every three months to maintain results.

Over a thousand, to over four thousand bucks a year, out-of-pocket, gladly paid, for crows feet. Yet you got a skin lesion that could kill you, and they don’t want to pay a dime.
