>> What did you disagree with?

I'm not sure "disagree" is the correct term.

It is a fact of life that this is a problem.

It is also a fact of life that private insurance would not be paying for the unnecessary crap. Only government run health care (Medicare, in this case) does this.

No private insurance company would have paid for a PAP under those circumstances. No private insurance would have paid for 25 specialists in this instance. No private insurance would reimburse nerve conduction studies for a patient who is clearly on her death bed as this one was.

Private health care, not government run, runs Part D -- and it is the most fiscally responsible government health care program in the country.

If last night's 60 Minutes told us anything it is that we should TOTALLY shut down Medicare and hand over that operation to private enterprise.
