But let's also be honest. The health care providers are very frequently also for profit entities. Even if the institutions may be non profit they pay some very lucrative salaries to individuals who may be compensated for doing expensive procedures. The doctors are just as likely to be overly aggressive in their use of expensive procedures because that's how they get paid. In that sense there is some control needed.
