Insurance companies and big pharma have profited off all of us. The government didn't regulate them enough.



Our prescription drug prices are the most expensive in the world. And insurance companies dictate deductibles, co-pays and infringe on doctors plan of care. Any physician will admit they are pressured by insurance companies when making medical decisions.

While we disagree about the need for more regulations I appreciate your opinion. It would be interesting to have GolfingEagles weigh in on this as far as physician practices go. But I can tell you, as far as hospitals are concerned, the Feds exert at least as much pressure as insurers.
