Welcome to 1995.


I didn't realize there was a timeframe of discussion about the unethical practices of the healthcare industry.

You can talk about unethical practices all you'd like. The pharma companies self-regulate the hell out of rep/doctor interactions. Every dollar is accounted for. There's no "entertaining." There's limited speaking fees compared to even 10 years ago. And doctors don't care about a nice steak dinner. They can buy that themselves. They're not going to write a product over another because of a steak from Morton's.

The company that owns Blue Cross is up almost four times over what it was just five years ago.

"Non Profit" hospitals are doing capital expenditures of massive proportions to, on paper, stay non profit while they pay themselves massive salaries.

This is not a market on the verge of collapse. This is a market with no pressure to compete on price because the government is so deeply involved.
