Again, the nut of the problem is somebody else is paying for it. Yes, the consumer is still paying for it, just four layers removed in a business with no prices published.
Again, it’s like a buffet in that they don’t have to think about what it is they’re getting. They don’t have to think about the price. They don’t have to think…
That’s the nut of the problem.
What’s the chief complaint people have? The part they actually have to pay for. Gnash teeth, the copay has gone up, OMG, the doctors are actually collecting co-pays.
It’s a broken system where the providers provide a service with no concern over the consumers actual ability to pay for it. What part do Doctors hate the most? The fact that they actually have to manage collecting co-pays now or the price sharing wrecks their income model.
Yea, so it’s a buffett where the casino boss is telling you don’t need the lobster…
