I hear you. Yes, these are dangerous times. And you're right, a lot of the medical profession is almost as corrupt as the politicians are.
The reality is still this: if you're getting government healthcare, they'll decide how to treat you. If you have enough money, you can decide how you want to be treated.
The only solution I have is to use them, instead of letting them use me. Which is a challenge because it means I have to know something and speak the language. And, if I'm in the government program, it also means I have to know how to work the system. All that is a lot to ask of the average working stiff who only has one free day a week
Which means, people will look for easy solutions, as you say. And some of them may work. It's a risky game though.
I wish I had a better answer.
