    I call it the Medical-Pharmaceutical-Insurance Complex it's similar to the Military-Industrial-Complex in actual effect, costing tons of money for benefits that are questionable.

    Mostly about the money, maybe a little for the power trips some involved are on.

    The MPIC and the MIC are basically the same considering that Dow and other multinational companies that own both military and pharma subsidiary companies are that key players.

    It's because the hospitals can get away with it and the ins cos let them. That's why our premiums are so high. Greed and profit have taken over the healthcare industry. It's a question we should ask. Unlike most of the world, the us healthcare system is for profit and whatever decisions are made for the benefit of your health. The question is, how much money can we make out of this patient.
    No sensible and unbiased decision can be made if $$ is the main motivation. If anything the wrong decision will be made and they will put you on a drug that you don't need.
