I believe doctors pay out of pocket (At least the ones that setup their own private practice do), so it would incentivize them to keep costs low so they can pocket the money.

- bartread 2mo agoIf there’s a big difference then it will certainly impact on willingness (and ability) to pay, depending on the cost of premiums, so I’d say it’s very relevant.
