Soon there will be no one to prescribe

Shouldn't doctors be doctors? I see the problem as ..

  1. Quack clinicians.
  2. Insurance over ruling medical decisions.
  3. Investors directing pharmaceutical companies.
  4. Publicly traded health companies.
  5. Pharmaceutical businesses marketing their products.
  6. Having to change doctors whenever insurance plans update.
  7. Hospital networks flipping large marketing budgets.
  8. Barrier to medical professions are too high. The loans leave no room for altering course, the hazing in residency is toxic and there is a high expectation put on doctors to be the adults of the adult world.

Doctors need to be removed from the business of the medical industry. The business side needs to be heavily slashed and consolidated. There is no reason that every hospital shouldn't be a non-profit with more beds and more doctors and lower costs and less marketing.

Phmaceuticals pricing needs to have ceiling/controls set by congress, no matter how new the drug is, but especially for ongoing life saving drugs like Insiline. The government has to step in incentivize thisr companies to find a longer lasting solution or to lower their costs.

America is a prosperous nation. But so much of it is fake artificial jobs that don't need to exist. In this case, layers of admin careers and industries that exist as leeches on doctors. They're opportunists taking advantage of the doctor patient relationship in dirty ways.
