Yes, so much has changed in the health care field now days, & just trying to find a doctor, (or a NP in my case), that is on my “insurance carrier list”, has been difficult. But, the money that is made for carriers, is extremely profitable! The fees charged for services, and/or medical items/supplies used in hospitals or Urgent Care facilities is so expensive! I’m not surprised that someone took another’s life - someone that made so much money in the health care industry of course; but, that is not a reason to kill for. I’m sure the truth may come out as to why this happened, but, it may be a long wait for the truth. Very sad.

It all really started going downhill when the hospitals (corporations) started buying out the MD’s practices Now they are owned by corporate healthcare which is in bed with big pharma, big insurance and the government. This doesn’t make for the best care. You basically have to go outside the system, pay out of pocket and find an independent physician. Lots of MD’s have given up the rat race and practice independently. It costs, but ultimately it will keep you healthier.

It is worth it, considering the alternative.
