Actually not complicated. Fee-for-service medicine is the giant, fundamental flaw in the US health system. Those perverse financial incentives underlie so many woes. We have exactly the system we designed and pay for.

March 4th.
The only date that is also a command.
It's been 19 years since my husband died of cancer & my life irreversibly changed. It took me years to feel like I wasn't drowning every minute of every day.
Grief & financial toxicity gave me a mission.
