And that's why medical care is so expensive in the US. It's a business first, and a service second.

I had a doctor make a house call (remember those?) in Bogota, Colombia last month. Gave me an injection and 4 Vicodins - total cost: $25. When I needed a follow-up injection, I went to the corner pharmacy - pharmacists there can do many things that only a doctor can in the US. He gave me a choice of six different injections (steriodal for inflamation) at a range of 75 cents - $6! Being the baller I am, I went with the $6 injection. And the pharmacist gave me his card and said they do free house calls.

Why? Because in Colombia, medical care is a service first, not a business.
