Who are doctors to come between an insurance company and their patients!

I was opposed to this for a long time. But my girlfriend, who is in med school, has convinced me otherwise. The vast majority of her teachers and docs she works with support this (according to her, of course). I asked my own doctor the last appointment before my surgery this week, and he supports it (he added that he felt it could be much better though)

Obviously, this is just my own corner of the world. But after hearing all these folks (the experts, actually) supporting it, I have a hard time mustering up any opposition.

It’s hard for me to admit that since I am usually strongly opposed to excessive regulation/government spending. But I’ve been convinced.
