I just think it's way, way overdone, and it appears to be a symptom of something that is wrong with our insurance system. I think it extends to the health insurance system, as well. If the insurance will pay, why not take advantage of some nice massages, etc., at someone else's expense?

If the insurance will pay, why not get your doctor to prescribe that new feel-good drug that costs a fortune? Why not just go ahead and get another MRI on your sore shoulder, instead of getting the one you had last month sent over to the orthopod you're visiting? The insurance will pay...so who cares?

That is the problem. Notice the warning in that literature, telling you that even if you don't have any pain...you really need to get checked out. Don't worry...the insurance will pay...

This is frustrating stuff...
