Money drove healthcare before,
and it still does.
Economics has always determined the type and quality of care you got.
You picked and you paid.
But its who gets the money that has changed.
It used to be doctors; today its insurance companies.
If a doctor is "in network", you can afford it. But it is the insurance company
that determines the network, not you.
For many, their closest in-network doctor is more than one hour away. Some people, like me, are assigned primary care doctors that are more than 2 hours away from where they live. As insurance companies continue to put financial pressure on providers, their ability to offer care will continue to decline.
