and co-pays. It gets worse every damn year. They force the physicians to "participate" and be "in network" with various tiers of care depending on who is a "preferred provider." It is truly designed to fuck the consumer and take as much money from your wallet, 401 or wherever. They don't care, they will just turn you over to their "collection agencies" to hound you to the end of time and virtually no humans are involved. It's all automated, robo-call harassment. I really hate where we have gone.
