The incentives are too high to ignore.
What's mindlowing to me is that there are so many schemes of this type and of varying degrees of legality that are all out in the open with millions of eyeballs on them, but getting consequences is rare and getting significant consequences compared to the payout even more so. If you have a personality type that is resistant to stress from uncertainty, you're golden.
- fragmede 4y agoHow else do you want healthcare to work under capitalism though? This is the system working as intended. There are more mainstream accepted practices without the histerics (eg orthodontist or optometrist) but Dr-with-a-clinic is how medical care advances in this country. Rich patients can afford to attend out of pocket, eg ketamine treatment with therapy, until insurance covers it, which can make it seem more legit because it's in an office, but realistically does telemedicine really change things? Patients still need to see a provider, and they need to sign off on medication.

Setting aside the debate of whether complete ideological overhaul is needed in general, we can still conclude that some improvement is possible even under the current capitalistic system.
