What do you consider to be the biggest threat to you and your loved ones?

I have read a few books lately, like Survival of the Sickest and Cure for all Diseases. My considerations when I was younger was great to promote non-nuclear weapons, and to support children in sports and greater challenges. Then I became concerned over the government and their money grabbing ways.
But now I see a medical subculture which threatens all in this age and time. It is no longer a consideration of respect for the patient and their quality of life, but it seems the best are like the character Dr. Gregory House, MD.
He cares little to nothing for the patient, and only the puzzle matters on solving the problem of misdiagnosis. I can tell you the worst, and I imagine many have seen it in their health visits.
You have assigned a primary care physician, however you more often see one of their physcians assistants. This person often carries a laptop computer, and keys in your symptoms. They run at least one test, and prescribe at least one prescription.

When you fill the prescription, it is not covered by your insurance. The physician will need to write a special reason you need this and fax it to them, then they will authorize it. When you call the doctor's office to get this done, they say they will simply prescribe something covered by your insurance company. They want you to call them to see what they will cover. The insurance company says they cannot suggest a medication since they are not a physcian. Then the lab contacts you by way of bill for the full price of the test, since it was not an emergency, it needed to be pre-approved. The physcian's assistant's medical clerk calls your answering machine to confirm the test was negative, or your results were "normal". For your effort and money you have the diagnosis of an upper respiratory infection level 2, four bills, (lab, pharmacy, doctor, and insurance payment), and an entire day you could've better spent resting instead of dealing with these people. So what do you think?

To myself, I have seen many families bled dry by the medical profession only to survive in constant pain in a nursing facility, relying on their loved ones to care enough to check on them whenever they can. Menwhile, any illegal alien can go into a hospital, and with Medicaid get will privilages without giving any insurance payment or personal responsibility. On the other hand, there are so many people who are simply sent home to die, if they have a home. Homeless people left by Tazis on the street, in their hospital gowns or with IVs still attached. This to me is the height of disrespect, since many of these people paid the majority of what Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security there is. Does anyone feel this is untrue?

crazy people are easily the biggest threat.
