How does the medical profession get privileged status. Death is one of those things that nobody has figured out how to avoid - so why do they do everything to the limit of ones purse strings to extend existance. Shouldn't we develop a hospice environment. Nobody asked for MDs to play gatekeeper to the pharma world - and natural remedies should be encouraged rather than prosecuted. The clowns really need a refresher in basic biochemistry. And who came up with the idea that cost savings could be achieved by inserting insurance companies between doctors and patients. The whole system is broken - let people pass when they can't afford the care. We do not have an inate right to health care. (Only an inane right) Grrrrr

The market place gives the medical profession access to our pockets. If we allow the insurance companies in between the doctor and us, it is our own fault.
Would that it be so, but many employers compel insurance upon their workers. My previous employer used the argument that they were contracted to provide 100% coverage at the rate offered and anything less would increase the costs for everybody else. I was given a choice - take the coverage or don't take the position.
Forming these business relationships merely pass on the higher costs of health care to the worker. It reduces the cost to the employer while increasing the cost to the consumer.
When one enters into a relationsip with the employer, this should be known at that time. If it comes up at a later date, it is a hostile enforcement of fiscal management onto the worker.
Still, it is the allowance of insurance to force the individual to bet on getting sick, not being well. Of course if their bet is wrong, they lose money and they are not in the business of losing money. It would be smarter in the long run to lead a healthy lifestyle and make a savings account meet medical expenses.
