(Video) Does This Graphic Anti-Sugar Ad Go Too Far????
At first the commercial seems like its a normal PSA about sugary drinks and soda’s and what not.

YIKES!!! Hit the jump to see the ad. Is this too much…or is it the blatant truth that we possibly don’t want to face????
Do Doctors Only Care About Money??
Health care experts believe that a ”Pay-For-Performance” theory can save the government billions of dollars! This theory would basically make doctors more equivalent to other job fields; they only get paid extra for doing a good job. Pay for quality; compensate for competency. Meaning doctors would be rewarded or incentivized when they keep their patients from getting sick (or sicker).
I personally think this theory may work. If a doctor is use to getting a $300k salary and its cut down to a $175k base salary, that doctor will go above and beyond to make sure they come up with the best treatments and solutions to keep their patients healthier. What do you guys think??
