Medical advertising hurts health care
Commercial messages divert resources, encourage unnecessary procedures
You do not have to look far to understand why U.S. health care is so expensive and uneven in quality. A recurrent offender advertises walk-in ultrasound testing of blood vessels and whatever other asymptomatic part you may choose to pay for. Worried older folks can feel lucky that it appears that Medicare would reimburse for the tests. But in fact, the whole course of tests and treatments encouraged by these ads will not improve your life expectancy — and could even have some chance of decreasing it.
Health care is extremely expensive as it is, why even go for unnecessary procedures? Been looking at some care services here health care seniors - ensynefo.com/blogs/288166/428585/health-care-seniors-services and the prices are already so much more than the annual median household income. Next time you think you’re sick with something, just go to your regular physician
