Health Insurers' Bottom Line Defines 'Medical Necessity'

I solemnly swear - and oh, how I damn sure do exactly that!

I solemnly swear the following italicized text is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Wasn't going to be any "walk in the park surgery," the highly esteemed neurosurgeon said. He was looking at the numerous films and scans of the lower spine.

(The fellow might be forgiven for his use of hyperbole. Several surgeries had preceded what he had in mind, and each of them were several steps short of strolls anywhere.)

1. Insurance peddlers' profit is more important than human life.
America does not have a health care system - it has an profit generating system for financial holding companies, based upon limiting payments to policy holders.
