The whole point of collective bargaining is to get providers to compete. To entice them with lucrative contracts.
Quote:Part of the problem is that we had limited companies to choose from and only one plan that would cover my wife's specialists physicians. Not much of a choice. Barring any hospitalization, it would have been less expensive to go with no insurance and pay out of pocket. I could buy cheap ass hospital only/catastrophic coverage but that would not satisfy the mandate.I presume you availed yourself of every resource the ACA offered in sourcing your new provider? Your old provider was shit, the mandates are a joke....if they fell below that bar, idk what to tell you, you were getting reamed........or am I misunderstanding something?
