Correct.
The current business model is being driven by the health insurance companies. The price that they pay the doctors is fixed. If the doctor doesn't like it.........they can go pound sand.
So, the level of care for each individual patient continues to drop because the doctor must churn the people through the office to make a decent living. Many doctors cannot even crack $100K per year these days, after expenses...........and the problem is getting worse.
I'm not entirely satisfied that universal health care by the government will solve anything, but, the current business model as prescribed by the insurance companies is not achieving the goal of decent patient care.
