Understanding the Medical Industry- Bills, Bills, Bills
The Health Industry makes no sense, and I question why.
The health industry is one of the only industries that make the most money when they misdiagnose, causing the patient more and more useless tests. With most other industries we award efficiency, paying for the end result, and not the waste in between.
The health industry is one of the costliest, the price tags extremely high, but at the same time, a mystery. When was the last time you understood your last medical and insurance bill?
The health industry is one of the only places where you go in, and sign documents that you agree to pay everything they charge you, without having any idea how much the cost will actually be.
Now, what happens if a person without health insurance enters this institution of unforeseen costs, receives unneeded treatments for diagnosis that are inaccurate, and then keeps receiving bills for this? How is this even legal in the U.S.? Shouldn't there be a system where we award efficiency and accuracy instead of misdiagnosis and hardship? I say there should be a better system in place, and the prices should be on the wall. Yelp the process! Reward the good...get rid of the bad. Where are the review systems for the medical industry? Put the prices on the wall like a McDonalds... and people will make better decisions of the treatments and tests they need, and the ones they don't.
And don't send multiple bills months apart. This is America, lets do something about it.
