STAY AWAY: 5 ways the Healthcare System will Screw You Over

Doc’s advice:

1) Push drugs & treatments w/ minimal benefit
2) Hospital bills & outrageous charges
3) Getting sucked into the system
4) Admission to hospital (watch your loved one like a hawk!)
5) They won’t be there for you when you really need them

Editor’s advice:

Take care of your health to minimize medical needs (okay, that was a no brainer!)
