My cousin is a physician in a neighboring community and he often tells me that he stopped practicing medicine a long time ago. Now the insurances tell them what services they will cover and when they will cover medications. It is no longer the physicians treating the patients, but the insurance companies calling the shots. Most of the insurance companies are driven by revenue rather than by the care that the patient receives. It is unfortunate, but it is the way the medical industry is today. I fear it will get worse before it gets better, and many medical professionals are getting out of the business because of that. what do you think?
