		<description>This is the dumbing down of American healthcare from the jealous Lawyers and Politicians who couldn&#039;t handle med school. Let&#039;s make everything equal and everyone the same for the better of the nation.  Nobody has any incentive to be creative or potentially lifesaving for the good of the patient. If it is not on the pathway then it doesn&#039;t exist. Let&#039;s see how long the American public will tolerate the destruction of medicine and the horrendous quality that is proposed. This is not England and Americans won&#039;t tolerate that type of care. I predict a return to cash only care as it is already happening across America.</description>

		<description>This is the final straw in a long series of incremental insults and degradations in the value of professional medical services.

I feel like the guy on the old movie &quot;Network&quot; ... &quot;I&#039;m mad as hell and I&#039;m not going to take it anymore!&quot;</description>
