The USA has the ... "BEST SPECIALISTS" ... but our Health Care System stinks and is ranked as the Low 37th on a World Scale !! It's like saying "THE USA WON THE MOST GOLD MEDALS IN THE OLYMPICS ... SO THE ENTIRE AMERICAN POPULATION IS MADE OF TOP ATHLETES !! When in reality we have an overweight & sick ...(cancer~heart diseases~diabetic)... population, compared to other nations. Don't buy into the Right-Wing propaganda.

Wow this guy is either lying or is an idiot. 1. Dr's don't agree to these ins contracts to see more patients, they agree to them to see any patients with insurance. This means that the larger ins co's can get away with paying far less than the smaller ones. The docs can't afford to lose 45% of their patients on a company the size of say Blue Cross. This is why Blue cross has the lowest reimbursement in our state, because they're the biggest.

forgot to mention that even though doctors that see lots of patients can charge less, they also spend far less time with those patients, thus reducing the quality of care.

It's a propaganda. The days of HMOs are counted. America will switch to the Canadian model soon. The maker of these little shitty videos can go choke on a cock right now!

veterinarians don't have socialized health care nor insurance for animals, and they're prices are an order of power lower than for doctors, even though they do similar work. Insurance inflates prices while socialization floods services.

Google "Half of primary-care doctors in survey would leave medicine"...

not true, without networks prices would go DOWN because there would be no mega-stores to steal the business in the first place. competition drives prices down not up. You cant compete with a mega-store.

Insurance companies use leverage to make docs negotiate crazy low prices or be excluded frm the companies patients.The notion of offsetting these lower payments with higher volume results in a doc needing to see a crazy number of patients to say afloat and thus the 11-minute office visit.For the record, Humana, the company that sponsored this education made a first quarter profit of 80mil this year while my doc is looking for a new job because he feels he cant practice medicine anymore

lmfao, I can't wait to see a video advocating DuPoint's outstanding work in the farm industry in a web-2.0 astroturf. Web 2.0.

I appreciate the "education" provided by this video - but unfortunately it is horribly biased.

Insurance companies decide what is medically necessary, but when did CEOs go to medical school or examine the patients.
