When you walk into the lobby of the hospital and it’s guilded with marble floors, vaulted ceilings, and chandeliers with large spacious “offices” for the billing departments, it’s hard not to see them as evil and profit seeking.
When you can’t get a straight answer out of anyone at the facility regarding cost of a simple procedure, it’s hard not to see them as evil and profit seeking.
When you see the executives of these hospitals wining and dining with the insurance executives then suddenly next year your premiums and deductibles get raised, it’s hard not to see them as evil and profit seeking.
Do I think that all medical professionals are evil and profit seeking? No. Do I think that many of them are content to live under an umbrella of plausible deniability as long as their paychecks increase? Absolutely.
