It happens in many areas -- the expanded diagnosis of ADD/ADHD. Did you know, in many instances, the US Govt pays parents a monthly check if they put their kids on drugs for those conditions and others? It's been going on a long time and is well-known in the schools. The pop culture terms for them is: crazy checks ....and the kids ask each other if they're getting them. Astonishing.
The explosion of CPAP machine pushing is another annuity racket. Most people could likely address their sleep issues in other, more natural, and less costly ways.

For me, your post lost all credibility when you declared C-PAP machines an "annuity racket". What a foolish claim and if you ever had exposure to someone with this necessity you would know how valuable they are for health and well being. No one craves or has a mad desire to use one but the difference in their lives is remarkable when medically necessary. The average user is not an alcoholic, druggie or obese but have anatomical features creating the issues that need resolution.
You may be better off spouting off about things about which you are educated.
