Actually I rant often about the amount of money that the hospitals and doctors are taking. I rant to my doctor friends and they agree with me that everyone is taking too much of a cut causing everything to be very expensive. One of my doctor friends recently told me he didn't think it was fair that he was given a 10% raise in the middle of a recession when health care costs are out of control. The guilty parties include (but are not limited to) doctors, insurance, hospitals, medical suppliers, lawyer happy patients and medical schools.
