The Obama administration allegedly secured support for healthcare reform from the AMA and doctors by creating new insurance codes for end-of-life consultations. These "consultancy fees" allow doctors to bill the government for sitting down with families to discuss care options. This arrangement is framed as a payoff to ensure medical industry cooperation with the broader legislative agenda.
