I wonder how many unnecessary procedures and pain people get just cause they got good insurance.

I have had very few, if any, unnecessary procedures on the healthcare side; however, my optometrist is always trying to "upsell" based upon my coverage.

They need to really get to the root of this problem...

All the medical, dental and eye care "professionals" used to get dollar signs in their eyes once they got a load of our great insurance policies. Probably not so much anymore.
