AMA is a big problem
The other problem is an over reliance on third party payment and the third party is the federal government (Medicare and Medicaid)
Another problem (but relatively minor) is that most people get health insurance from the government or their employer
I realize that this list isn't exhaustive and a rehash of previous arguments
I understand. There used to be a system where you paid dues to a fraternal organization that bought a doctor’s services for the whole organization’s membership. So, they could all come in and get medical assistance from that doctor when he was there. As somebody also noted, they made house calls and were paid in cash. Yep, the monopoly greed certainly set them up well, didn’t it?

In areas where people pay cash, a crisis is absent.
For example: plastic surgery, fertility treatments such as IVF, lasik surgery

Yes, isn’t that strange? Pay as you go in cash medicine is the basis for proper distribution of services. Ain’t economics wunnerful?
