Insurers claim limiting doctors and hospitals ‘keeps coverage prices down’.
This flies in the face of economic doctrine, and the benefits of open competition.
It’s more likely to be a back-door effort by insurers to restrict certain types of healthcare, without admitting their REAL intentions…higher profits and a competitive advantage.
It’s a perfect tool for cronyism, sowing the seeds of ‘pay-to-play’ political games, where the deeper-pocketed insurers gain an upper hand over cash-poor smaller ones.
There’s no doubt money-grubbing Democrat politicians will be pushing this ploy…hard.
