3 or 4 years ago, my Dr. told me that the insurance company would only allow him 15minutes with me and that if I wanted to have him deal with multiple issues, I would need to schedule multiple 15 minute appointments.

Yes, malpractice insurance and lawsuits are a major burden and have had a disastrous effect on every aspect of healthcare.

Hospitals too often have an adversarial relationship with the doctors and their groups. Many times this is due to some bean counter or upper management type with blinders on, trying to siphon off "new" revenue streams.

There's plenty of fairly easy ways to reduce a substantial amount of the mess. But it takes all sides.

I can point fingers everywhere. Take the alcoholic who drinks through his 2nd liver, then demands that the state, or Medicare/caid pay for a 3rd one.
