First, I gave example of how "criticisms" of the medical industry can start. I didn't say that I believed them, agreed with them, or that I was criticizing them.
Second, the thread was about medical billing fraud by insurance companies for govt reimbursement, not about medical malpractice, nor about doctors or hospitals malpractice.
Do you see where how billing fraud quickly turns into something other than insurance greedy behavior for profits?? and why people should think twice about which government health care plan they should select?
