There are many medical procedures that some believe are not necessary that could save millions of dollars. However, who is going to determine what procedure is necessary and what is not? Most think it should be YOUR DOCTOR and it would be difficult to argue different. For example, millions are spent to keep Cancer patients alive when there is little chance of recovery. Statistically this can be proven.

It's complicated with no easy answers IMHO and I might add---a very slippery slope.
