There has been such a move in health care towards regulating the amount of care via cost that if one has had to utilize an insurance that had any kind of restrictions and/or costs to it a graph of where this has all been heading would likely have been a diagonal line going from the top left chart to the bottom right chart over the last 30 years. Doctors have been losing control of what they are able to do literally to a great degree and insurance companies are making more and more decisions. A physican has so much more paperwork and hoops to jump thru now in terms of trying to get not only optimal care for patients let alone just adequate care.

And when money is concerned and the patient cannot pay they are often left in the dust to make their own choices on what is more important in life. Eating or medicines. There will be much more of this no doubt.
