Healthcare System and Presumptions

The discussion highlights how the healthcare system operates under presumptions that may not reflect reality. For instance, doctors often require patients to return for prescription refills without offering any allowances for the practical challenges faced by patients, leading to unnecessary repeat visits. This not only burdens patients but also results in significant charges to insurance companies for services that could be avoided. Critics argue that these practices are exacerbated by misconceptions about healthcare systems in other countries, which may not address the complexities inherent in the U.S. system.
