More realistically:

  • Patient: "Doctor, I got shot in the chest."
  • Doctor: "Have you considered it might be anxiety?"
  • Patient: "WTF are you talking about? Look, I'm bleeding out all over the floor here."
  • Doctor: "You'd be surprised what anxiety can do."
  • Patient: "Doc, I'm dying from A GUNSHOT WOUND."
  • Doctor: "Ang. Zai. Eh. Tee. Kthxbye."

Ahhh capitalism, where insurance companies pay doctors to pretend everything is fine so they don’t have to spend money.

This happens all the time in state funded healthcare too. It's not about funding, it's about mindset

At least in a state funded system there is the occasional connection made between a healthy population and higher productivity and GDP.
