The way they designed it is it makes more sense for them to treat very sick patients - even those on Medicaid than it does for them to keep them in good health. Its a fact they lose money up the wazoo on preventive care. The government, on the other hand, will pay the doctor and the hospital the sky’s the limit for catastrophic care. So this woman will have to hope she gets very sick before ANY of those 96 doctors will even see her.
So do we just cave and pay everyone's insurance and allow them unlimited access to the best medical care?
