Health care professionals spend a great deal of time learning how to properly treat our illnesses and diseases. As a group, they are dedicated to easing the sicknesses and sufferings that persist in our society. While these professionals have access to tests and drugs that are more advanced than ever before, insurance companies continue to be motivated their own bottom line as opposed to the best interests of the sick and ailing. As a result of the ever increasing pressures placed on health care professionals by insurers to operate highly efficient offices and facilities, the time spent with and caring for patients has declined causing medical mistakes with devastating consequences.
According to a 2016 study by Johns Hopkins University, more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical mistakes, making them the third-leading cause of death.
