re: #574 Obdicut

Price caps cause shortages. That’s an established fact. Medicare patients have a harder time finding doctors.

Medicare prices are capped. Private aren’t. Therefore, they’ll operate differently. A lot of insurances right now have no deductible, just a co-pay. We haven’t had a deductible in fifteen years.

Why would doctors operate differently than any other service? Emergency care, yes, you get what you need right now. Check-ups? You’d ask around and get a pediatrician that you thought provided good care for a good price.

If you had food insurance, and you went out to buy food, knowing that you would pay a set amount for your food, you’d only be concerned about the quality, not the cost.
