As long as my AI robot doctor is Italian, he probably wont proscribe euthanasia. But I could be mistaken.

A 1999 study suggested that at least 31 percent of U.S. healthcare spending was taken from patient care to pay middlemen. With expanded regulation of healthcare since 1999, particularly the cost of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) and the healthcare spending built-in to the Anti-Inflation Act of 2022, roughly 50 percent of our healthcare spending is wasted on non-clinical activities.


And with it, the decline of life expectancy in the U.S. began with the ACA going into effect.

Those docs want test results, and x rays and case analysis prepared ahead, and appointments made, and stuff like cash flow. The kind Doc could always do house calls and do business one on one.

You really need to be your own doctor these days. And I will admit that is a somewhat difficult sentence to parse.
Fact is that each person is able to decide which recommendations to follow. And that is where it gets more difficult.
For the LOVE OF GOD!!!? Why do the drug companies get to promote their products on television? And in magazines?
You can tell me that is how capitalism works. Okay!!
Then where are the hard liquor and cigarette commercials?
How about guns and ammo? Can you imagine television commercials for 22 caliber rifles? (.223 or .22? I hear you think).
Rant not over, but paused.
