Big pharma funds medical schools and that is why doctor in the US have become pill pushers.
Mostly it the culture. They are greedy and arrogant.
Bad medicine is more lucrative and with the emphasis on managing disease rather than curing it it will be expensive and will not serve the patient. They think of us as customers and we see them as part of a industry that is about the money first and foremost. This is not to say that all American doctors are money grubbing mercenaries but IMO, based on my experience this is how it is.
