What’s Up With Doctors Making Money On Their Own Mistakes?
Americans are so over-prescribed and over-operated on that you’d think our health is on the mend, but trends suggest otherwise. So, why are physicians and pharmaceutical companies celebrating a hefty payday while public health is on the decline?
There’s a lot of money at stake in the medical industry, particularly when Americans actually seek out too much medical care. Overtreated, and yet paradoxically unhealthier than ever before, we’d all hope that the drive for better public health is an honorable one, but unfortunately that’s far from the truth. From sheer malpractice to unnecessary medical services to purposeful prescriptions that bring both Big Pharma and physicians alike a hefty payday, it’s about time we stop accepting the status quo that keeps us growing poorer and sicker.
