You miss the point. The question is not whether the money we're
throwing
at
medicine is going to the doctors, the nurses, the hospital
administrators,
or any of the other cast of characters in your play. The issue rather
is
that the decision to spend the money for a particular doctor's visit,
X-ray,
"procedure" or other item is being made in most instances by someone
with
no
financial stake in that decision. If you stand on the corner and hand
out
free candy bars, people are going to eat a lot of candy, but either
you're
gonna run out of candy very quickly or you'll have to stop handing the
candy
out for free.


Potentially being dead isn't a financial stake??

If I have a runny nose when I come in from the cold I should immediately
make a doctor's appointment because it might be a deadly form of
pneumonia?

Might be your brains leaking!




Might?
