"Multiple tests by doctors waste money. And I'm going to change that.

Sounds like a guy working for an HMO pressuring doctors to reduce expenses by reducing care. Doctors don't run multiple tests for the fun of it - and doctors and patients are the best judges of when multiple tests are needed, not Obama.

Let us not forget this thing: Disease CHANGES. You can be feeling a simple uncomfortable pressure and have everything look fine. Six weeks later the pressure is worse and the same test will show a tumor. (This happened to my grandpa. It was a fast-growing pancreatic cancer.)

He didn’t make it, but at least he was validated in the end.
