- qntty 7y agohealth insurance != heath care
- hfern 7y agoIt's worth pointing out that for the vast majority of people doctors != insurance. The payer is not the provider. The refrain of "people like their health insurance" deliberately conflates the two. People like their doctors, not their insurance. Doctors accept multiple insurance companies.
- mieseratte 7y ago> Doctors accept multiple insurance companies. Some do, but not all. One of my providers takes exactly one insurer, which I do not have, so pay out-of-pocket. Luckily most insurance companies allow you to submit receipts to receive credit towards your deductible.
