From the linked article: “The fee increase was a good idea in concept, but it was built on an antiquated system in which doctors were paid a separate fee for each service.”

Just exactly what is "antiquated" about charging a separate fee for each service?

I worked for 31 years and was paid a separate paycheck for each month of work. Somehow it worked out alright.

If we’re eventually going to move to single payer, fee for service medical care is antiquated, indeed.

They want drs to be employees of medical factories.

Engineering. Paid and with no say.
