from a layman's point of view based on my experience, let me give you my view

before Obamacare, I was having quarterly checkups at my doc, costs ran me around $150 a visit. I'm blessed, cost was not a factor.

Obamacare came to town, I get the speech from my doc about how four times a year is really too often since Im in good shape. Of course the twice a year visits cost me almost zero now. (My doc is under the employment of a major system)

Now the healthcare system is faced with using low margin drugs/treatments or high margin drugs/treatments. Getting them in and out of the system, or keep billing $$ for the bed they're dying in.

Yes, money is more important than the patient's best interest today as I see it. Your profession may never recover.
