I own a half million dollar medical facility.

My wife was a benefits administrator for a multinational employee benefits firm.

She is now a doctor.

Don't hector me as if I have no understanding of the dynamics at play. I've had to give over 9 months of my life creating 300 pages of documentation so that an industry lobbying group can charge me $7k so that an insurance company will underpay us by 50% rather than simply not covering us in network. Just because you wear a stethoscope does not mean you have a more refined or broader understanding of the medical industry.

FUCK the American College of Cardiology. They're the ones who lowered the cholesterol guidelines in 2004 to put more people on Lipitor. results were predictable.
