Dragan;

That is the perfect term!

Combined with acronyms of all types such as HMO, and PPO, we continue to get “less for more”, an American tradition. My wife works in health care as a Patient Advocate, and is constantly fighting doctors, nurses, hospitals and insurance companies, to represent patients in a fair manner. Perhaps 15% of American doctors are competent and are a credit to the medical profession. As for the rest, they are sick leaches who feed off the population and are concerned only with his/her investments and profits. Combined with the AMA, pharmaceutical houses, insurance companies and lobbyists, we have a medical nightmare!

My recommendation to everyone is to never get sick or injured and you have a better chance of survival into old age. Medical intervention in this country has a price – it could be your life. But then what is an attorney for? After the fact resolution is not the answer!
