Wow, how to respond.

I am a qualified MD, when I emigrated to the USA I was unable to use my MD without going back to med school, so now I use another degree I have, Business Analysis. Am I qualified to talk about the greedy pharma companies? Yes I am, and I will. Look at the Fortune 500 lists and tell me why there are more pharma companies in the top 500 than any other vertical. I'd also question if you have every had to buy any anti-cancer drugs (upwards from $2000-3500 a shot), or work with any long term rehab hospitals that have no issue charging cancer patients over $1000 a day for a room.....

Please re-read my post again before you comment. The healthcare business is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, perhaps the only industry that has not seen a downturn in these bad economic times, I wonder why?

It sounds to me that you are bitter.

As for $1000/day per room, my hospital charges almost $3000/day per room, and somehow manages only about 3% margins. There are things called expenses that inflate the cost, and some of them certainly have to do with greed, but very little of it comes from the hospital. And never ever have I heard of any hospital that would want you to stay an extra day to "get more money".

I'm sorry that you did not make use of your MD when you emigrated. My father was in the same boat, and yet he doesn't express his frustration with jealous diatribes. Since you are not using your MD, do yourself a favor and get your nose out of others.
