Too Much Health Care Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
Tom Emerick and Al Lewis, via Managed Care [Opinion] Aug. 30, 2013 "If there is one trend that epitomizes the overconsumption of health care, it's executive physicals. These in-depth half-day examinations, which often include extensive scanning, almost always reveal something, whether it's truly there or not.... The equivalent of the half-day executive physical for those of us in the '99 percent' is the biometric screen ... [A] $40 biometric screen will find at best one avoidable heart attack in every 4,000 people ... at a cost of $160,000. Add in, for instance, $200 in incentives and $20 in time off from work to persuade people to participate, and you've now created the million-dollar heart attack screen." |
