Medco and a few bretheren own Congress. Do you think they will care about a "slander" suit from the likes of us? Pretty soon, the drug companies and insurance companies will own all the hospitals, and all doctors will be employed by the hospitals. Then when they say "jump", you will say "How high, sir?"
Medicine has become a giant financial Ponzi-scheme game. "Image" and "market share" are all that matter-- and "covered lives" are bought and sold like cordwood.
The patients are pawns, and the doctors are whipping boys. It is a wonder we get any real "medical care" out of this system at all.
