Why do you say that they would get paid the same? They would still get paid based on the type and level of care provided and the number of patients that they treated. Possibly the rates could be lower than what they charge but their overhead would be lower as well in not having to deal with the myriad of hoops that they have to jump through dealing with the private insurance carriers. By the way, under the current system, don't you think that depending on what plan you have dictates the level of care you receive? Do you believe that if you have more money you deserve better access to healthcare?
