I wouldn't say "teach". But you're right that docs are forced to obey insurance companies. Not only in the US, but everywhere insurance companies are a thing. Yet, docs are almost always the main target for complaints, while insurance companies act in a very capitalistic way by optimizing for C-suite bonuses.

- singleshot_ 2y agoThe secondary purpose of insurance is for the best-positioned allocator of risk to explore new means of reducing risk by leveraging lower premiums against adoption of risk reduction methodologies. In other words, an insurance market that does not influence doctors’ behavior seems to be a pretty inefficient insurance market.
