Understandable because I said she works for an insurance company. But it was not my intent. No need to apologize for this.
I disagree that it's natural. I said doctors, not just doctors providing care (which my wife is still one of, btw). I suspect that this is an issue of viewing it as too black and white ... so because I said one "side" is not perfect...well I must then think the other "side" is perfect.
This is a different question than the one I'm trying to answer. I haven't seen the books or analysis, so I don't know whether it is more efficient. However, just peripherally, even i can see how much waste there is an even as a laymen it's easy for me to understand that so many of the things she sees are just blatantly not medically necessary.
Times they are a changing. Them not justifying why they are doing something is no longer adequate, and wont be adequate even if (maybe even especially if) we move to universal health care.
