Physicians don’t read insurance contracts before they sign them. This is a horrible idea:
When a health insurance company has gained complete control over a doctor’s access to patients, that company has also gained complete control over the doctor’s viability as a practitioner.

Under this sort of “business” arrangement, the concept of a “contract” takes on a whole new color.
