How would you report a doc doing testing when not needed? How's bout starting with the AMA?

You can't predict the future. Although, it's an excuse for sitting idly by while a doc rips off the patient and insurance companies.

I don't like to argue and resent that accusation.

The gov getting involved isn't going to solve waste if people who see it don't speak up. You chose not to, so stop complaining about it. You want a change? You had the power to say something, you knew the situation, you chose not to......

I'd hope you'll do things differently if there's another opportunity.
Actually,when you have gov asst health care it is hard for there to be wasteful tests done.Every single thing you have done has to be approved.If Doctor X has you get an x-ray(example)they won't cover another one from Doctor Z.Not posting just to argue,I have that type of healthcare and there is no way two tests would be repeated unless it was deemed extremely needed for some reason.
