Also, as a result of the current system, nobody has any idea of the actual cost of any given service. A thorough physical examination does NOT cost $20.
THANK YOU. This is something I tell people a lot; medical services cost lots of money, things are expensive to run, it's not that providers are money-hungry. People don't become nurses/medics/docs/PAs/PCTs/etc in order to make money. You have to actually care about people to do this sort of work.
I agree with lots of other points, here, but this is the one I had to immediately jump on and say something about.
