The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Maybe 20 yrs ago I had an older doctor, internal med, but due to insurance had to find a new one. Then years later I went back to him and his single dr practice. When I mentioned a test my cardio dr did yearly he said "that is corporation medicine for you".

Sadly I got the email I knew was coming and he is finally retiting at age 74. He certainly was more detailed and accurate than my cardio doctor. He mentioned just the overhead was nearly $300,000 a year when I asked about cutting back the hrs.

While the tech has improved greatly in medicine, the quality and availability of care hasbeen regressing.
