The disconnect between ideology and reality in some of these discussions is sometimes remarcable. This "perverse financial objective" you talk about is imaginary. My wife is a doctor. She sometimes lives in fear of not having ordered this or that test. What she pays for insurance could probably support the royal family of some small countries. It's absolutely infuriating that doctors in the US can't focus on patient care and have to worry about being sued out of existence. Imagine if you, as a coder, had to exist under similar conditions.
