At least a mechanic tells you the bill up front, the doctors and insurance companies make sure it takes work to find out what shit will cost. $1200 for allergy tests lol. I hope that doctor fuckin dies.

    American doctors are complicit in causing current state of affairs in medicine. AMA (American Medical Association) is chiefly responsible for limiting the number of doctors to half that of other developed nations, causing American doctors to be the highest paid in the world. They are enriching themselves at the expense of the public.

    It’s mostly the same trick as the Ticketmaster/artist false dichotomy. People can get a convenient scapegoat to blame (insurance companies, hospital administrators) while doctors can get rich without a public outcry against them.
