Does this actually benefit poor or middle income communities ? Like I’m not going to shop around for an MRI, I’m going to go to the place that has the soonest appointment I can make. Money isn’t the only factor here either, now if somebody waits for medical care too long and gets sicker it’s their fault instead of the governments because they picked the cheaper option. Is the wait time for procedures so short that this isn’t an issue in every community, not just the affluent ones ? And don’t insurance companies have specific areas they will cover care for ? Isn’t somebody just going to go to a clinic out of their area thinking they found the cheapest option just to be shafted by their insurance company ? This all sounds shady AF but I’m not American, I don’t know exactly how the system works.
