Cost of Care by Ted Bacharach MD (retired)

Physicians should help to make patients understand why medical care has become more expensive in the United States than anywhere else in the world. Thanks to the HMO;s hospitals, and various medical service provider organizations and helped at least a little by the pharmaceutical industry. All of these mighty entities are generous advertisers. Every dollar they spend telling us how good they are increases what we have to pay. The physician’s fees are utilized by numerous entities, all of whom rely on what can be obtained by taking their percentage off the top.
