186. You are so right! I've watched several friends die in hospitals that were
put through all sorts of unnecessary procedures. They were racking up the bills knowing full well that it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
I also believe that paying to take all personal responsibility out of the equation encourages disregard for one's own health. Why bother if you know you're covered? We all pay for this and it disincentivizes taking control. I would bet that over 90% of all our medical expenses are a result of this. But then who am I? I must have that health gene.
