The current president of the California Medical Association, Frank Stagger, acknowledges this is a drastic measure. Prior to such an occurrence, it's just a bunch of wires and watts. Like the fella stuck in the elevator, a patient who finally is forced to confront the insurance system may suddenly recognize there is a problem.

This RICO suit is a result of that tilt in fairness in the economic dynamic. In Cuba, they have a different economic model. They rightly proclaim that their citizens can see a doctor any time without charge.
