I’m just about the most free-market person you’ll ever meet, but the current situation in the US is completely untenable. I’m beyond caring about how the insurance companies tie your hands, how you’re just a doctor focused on patient-care/“customer service” (that’s a new one) or anything else. Here’s the bottom line: doctors have the most to lose by not fixing this nonsense. Insurance execs, hospital administrators, and other various parasites can go MBA something else. You lot are the ones with specialized and non-transferable skills. If you all collectively don’t start using your knowledge of the medical system to propose real changes, then the rest of us about going to impose changes on your profession that I promise you will not like.
