"Are doctors rationing health care? Health policy analyst Gregg Bloche says doctors routinely compromise the principles of the Hippocratic Oath when they decide which expensive tests and treatments they can and can't provide, in order to please lawmakers, lawyers and insurance companies."

OMG don't get me started! It's scientifically proven medical knowledge that there is a cure for most coronary artery disease. Do you know why doctors don't teach the cure? Because they get tens of thousands of dollars and enormous prestige for doing bypass surgery. They get at most an office visit fee for teaching people how to change their dietary habits. Nutritional counseling just doesn't provide the drama sawing through a sternum and cracking ribs for open heart surgery does! Ok, this format isn't big enough for the whole story....
