I skimmed what I can while on break. What I didn’t see is something I’ve heard from doctors but can’t verify. It’s that insurance companies require them to do extra procedures or have extra employees they don’t think they need. Some who didn’t take insurance say it keeps their cost down. One told me the insurance companies incentivize him to treat patients like an assembly line where cash only lets him spend one on one time with customers. He also might treat people for several things on the same bill which he claimed he’d have to itemize and charge separately for with insurance. So, do people here have specific examples (esp links) to support or refute those anecdotes? If they were true, it would mean insurance rules were driving much of the cost. Looking at their causes, my first guess would be how they respond to losses from both real malpractice and greed-driven lawsuits. I can’t imagine that costs aren’t impacted by this with all the lawyer ads I see for suing insurance companies. ;)
