Doctor's been bilking private insureance companies for years too. They order all kinds of unnecessry tests and procedures. Same with prescibing unnessary medicines. I know someone who was on about a dozen different meds and decided to stop taking all of them. Dr told him he was dropping him as a patient for not listening and he was going to die. It's now been over 10 yrs and the man is doing much better health wise in his 70's as he was in his 50's and feels a heck of alot better also. The medincines had made him a semi invalid.
