Riddle me this - if Fee For Service is so repugnant, why do we tolerate paying repairmen, mechanics, plumbers, accountants, lawyers a fee for their services?
Let this sink in for a moment - Health Insurers have reported profitable quarters in an economy devastated by a pandemic and therefore, they need a premium INCREASE? What am I missing?

#DFS
has released a chart of NY-health insurer requested premium increases for 2021, ranging from +1.4% to 29.1% in the group market, and -3.7% to +19.1% in the individual market.

Say, how many professionals do you call

? Is your Pastor your religious services provider? This Carp needs to stop. Dammit Jim, I'm a
#Doctor
not a
#Provider

Another outrage you should look at is what happens if a woman delivers a baby who dies shortly after birth. These cases involve the catch 22 in the baby didn't live to be enrolled. Mom gets the whole enchilada of a bill for resuscitation etc
Dear Congress - If you truly care about enhancing care for rural America, kindly remove the block on physicians' owning/building hospitals.

Thanks for another story dumping on doctors even as they are battling this virus. Your timing is counterproductive. BTW I'm sure you know this but
@NYGovCuomo
has issued exec order proscribing rx of Plaquenil for any use other than FDA approved or as part of a study.

Right ... doctors' income figures no more than 20% of
#healthcare
cost (the late Ewe Reinhardt ) of which half is overhead. Suggest you look at this 800 lb gorilla
