Doctors look for payment leverage
Legislation would allow physicians to negotiate with insurers over rates
"Those doctors who want to collectively bargain want to do so simply to increase fees," said Robert R. Hinckley, senior vice president at CDPHP. "If that happens, there will be one inescapable result: Health care costs will rise, and those costs will be borne by employers and employees."
Unsaid: "Because we in management at the insurance companies sure as shit will not be giving up any of our salaries or bonuses, so these alleged costs would definitely go on to the customers."
