It's a disgrace

Health-care system wastes $750 billion a year
Health-care system squanders roughly 30 cents of every medical dollar through unneeded care, byzantine paperwork, fraud and other waste, a new study shows. Deep cuts to the US heath-care system may produce a more efficient, better-quality product.
They waste a whole hell of a lot more than that.   Half of what they do is treating the side effects of the other half of what they do.  The entire Psychology field could disappear and health outcomes would probably improve.
