As a medical professional I have witnessed this all first hand, to dismiss this as fear mongering is not very accurate. My experience was in the Cardiology field and how they use ultrasound procedures to basically increase the profitability of their practice. This was done by nearly every Cardiology practice in my community. When Medicare cut re-reimbursements of Echocardiograms guess what happened...they all just increased the frequency in which they ordered them. If you don't think a Electrophysiologist has a financial incentive to implant pace makers you're greatly mistaken.
