I agree, to me the second biggest industry acceptance that is counter intuitive is that insurers need to make money off of the float. Why can't an insurer come along who charges a fee for the service of ACTUALLY BEING ACCESSIBLE TO THE CUSTOMER. Intead of fax me this paper and wait two months. I am paying the insurer on the basis that they want to draw out any claim I have.
"All I've heard so far are physicians who don't accept insurance but instead have a straightforward "menu" for common items, which is interesting but not what I think most people want." - I think people want this but they are scared of going off of insurance in the event they need to see someone who doesn't offer this (chance occurance, expensive disease).
