BUMP!
I can't wait to see how the scumbag Democrats will raise my taxes.
A much bigger ripoff is Social Security disability fraud. And it's much easier to catch crooked docs because they form documented relationships with lawyers--yet we continue to be ripped off.

That's certainly an aspect of it, but I think there's a general agreement that everyone in that circle prospers greatly from government largesse -- and the lawyers' malpractice threats! I'm 100% for tort reform if it can be accomplished without protecting real medical quacks.
My doctor sure doesn't work for a hospital! He's part-owner of large medical corporation and rakes in big bucks. I don't particularly resent that: I wouldn't want his hours or responsibilities. Bottom line I feel the system is overused by some, not open at all to others. If those inequities continue, socialized/government medicine will be a certainty under the coming Democrat regime.
"If the government's giving away free cheese (remember that?), even rich people who hate cheese will line up and fight each other for some to take back to their Cadillacs."
They will then complain about the low quality of the free cheese.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
