The "medicare underpayments" are still OVER what the actual costs are,
and since medicare CANT negotiate, those costs can't be lower. That
would be a good first fix.

Maybe you are one of those Venus Project people who think we should do
away with money but as long as we have money, you need to pay more
than "cost" just to keep the wheels of commerce turning.
"Cost" for the MRI, still does not pay for keeping the building
running. At a certain point you are cutting the pay and benefits for
the workers who do that.

Huh? The cost of the building is built into the price that is figured
for making a profit. Hospitals are pushing MRIs that don't need to
happen and they are making huge money on the MRIs they have. Read the
****ing article.

I agree they over use tests but as long as we have lawyers picking
apart every bad outcome, doctors are going to test everything they
think might insulate them from liability.

And, yet again, read the ****ing article. Sure, some tort reform needs
to happen, but it's not the "lawyers" fault for all or most of the
medical cost explosion. It's an aspect, but it's mostly the profit
motive, lack of regulation, and inability to negotiate.
