As a patient I can’t disagree more. I have been hit by a $5000 fee because I was seen by a doctor who wasn’t in the right network, despite it not being a choice I was able to make. Doctors lose negotiating powers and are paid a lower wage? I am fine with that. Wait until we have universal health care. It’s not fair to extract full market value from users when the penalty from not paying is death.
