...admitting MRI machines don't produce better outcomes and only protect against malpractice lawsuits?

[lorimar]

MRI's, Catscans, you name it, are FAR too much in abundance in the USA because 50 million people cannot afford the insurance to actually stay healthy by attending their doctor on a regular basis and have blood tests done, etc to keep an 'eye' on their health.

Thus, they get sicker and sicker until they HAVE to go begging for care and THEN it costs a FORTUNE !!

PREVENTION is the key here, and ONLY a universal health care plan can get the job done !!

'Nuff said.

It's nonsense because several other countries with socialized systems use MRI. I know a guy who sells them in China. Also, the idea that only "liberals" sue for malpractice is complete nonsense.

The idea that malpractice suites are jacking up healthcare costs is a MYTH:

If a doctor screwed up on a Republican they would run to a lawyer. Hypocrisy is their most consistent quality.

Watch Megyn Kelly morph into a liberal when one of her fellow mouth breathers criticizes her family leave. Her exact argument for it could be used for public health care.

Law suits are killing our health care system. It not only creates a dozen more tests that isn't actually needed to not make more money but cover their butts. The paperwork for someone with a headache is outrageous. As for conservatives using MRI machines conservative cause one of them might have used it for an example.

Reading boilerplate talikng points seems less effective than thinking.

When they pull that thread they better expect to have to explain how the oversupply of mammography machines led to overuse led to more women in America being harmed than helped.

Wrong. MRI's save lives.

[honi]

They do produce better outcomes. They help spot tumors early and things like that. How is that a bad thing.

[arrigo]

because the ATMS are stealing all of the jobs in America.

[abisha]

And the ones doing the suing are liberal, unemployed and living in inner cities.

Canadians come to the US to get quality healthcare. Take this up with them.
