A long time ago (about 50 years ago) Doctors WERE in charge of their medical profession. Somehow, insurance companies ripped away that leadership and took the lead for themselves. The Insurance Companies' CEOs now reap the rewards, "the big bucks" and the Physicians lost some salary and some STATUS. I would SPECULATE that America and Americans are the losers and we should be more like Canada, Australia, and Europe and have a Nationally controlled medical system. Most Americans COMPLAIN about our medical system, but we will probably be stuck with it for the next HUNDRED years.
