[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with you.  For what we pay in insurance costs and out-of-pocket costs, it feels like we get such poor quality of care.  And maybe it's wrong of me, but it feels like such a money grab sometimes.  I never know what question at an appointment will get the visit billed differently so there's a $$ co-pay, and it varies with different providers. [/quote]

I work in healthcare and please be assured, it is a complete money grab.

An unintended consequence of the ACA is that it became prohibitively expensive for doctors to operate private practices, and so they are either shuttering their offices/retiring or selling their services/practices to large healthcare organizations (like the one I work for).  Clinical staff is suspicious and resentful of administrative staff, whom they see as out of touch with the day-to-day operations.

My boss, a VP, is candid about the fact that the system is intractably bloated, but everyone at the top gets a piece, so don’t expect any meaningful changes anytime soon.  Everyone is in on it, and we all know, and we all get paid, and because this is America no one will stop us.[/quote]

You think that was unintended? How optimistic of you 🧐 [/quote]
