I think when hospitals and docs know you have good insurance, they order way more as far as tests,etc…that is where the money is. A regular visit they get very little
reimbursement.
dont worry cg ups, that overuse will change in a big way if nat’l healthcare makes it through. enjoy it now. and hope you dont get old. read up on the details of rationing and caps as they do in canada and the uk.
“very true, that is why we need healthcare reform. i have awesome insurance and whenever i get injured i’ve gotten scans, xrays and all that crap out the wazoo.”
Some people would say that’s part of the problem… over-use due to tort.

Maybe we need to up our compassion pills too. A little extra care taken and it would have been a lot less expensive too.
Rob, thats an interesting take.
maybe CGups – thats why we need an NHS eh?
or maybe the doctor is a Hater too. apparently these days the only kinds of people you CAN beat are people who are EXACTLY like yourself!
*rob*
sad to say, but maybe bc he didn’t have insurance?
