        Would be difficult though, because each offers an independent service, don't you think?

        Yes, I have to agree. I think Kaiser Is closest to that model. Everything is in house like labs, x-rays, scrips not perfect, but good.

        TY, sir. Maybe it'll cover nursing homes that don't discuss per diem charges with their patients and bill them double when Medicare runs out

        Insurance companies created this situation by underallowing on claims for OON emergency providers and violating state prompt pay law

        Yay! It is frustrating to find an in-network provider and facility then get balance billed by a practitioner that is out of our control.

        Why not explain that refusing Medicaid exp. funds guaranteed a rise in these charges? You did this deliberately, now your "combating" it?

        Medicaid gap resulted from Abbott's rejection of fed funds. This means millions went to the ER for care & those bills were paid, by us!

        Do your research folks. GOP sought to increase burden on You & I in order to justify gutting the ACA. Cost savings headed to the rich.
