Wake up and smell the ether. They already choose the doctor for the patient on many plans. Factory medicine has arrived big time. Factory dentistry too. Dentistry is so bad on "insurance plans" that we are paying the full freight to do it on our own. Good, old-fashioned dentist with ethics, a nice attitude about billing, and superb craftsmanship.
Reminds me of Harrison Ford recounting his experience as a bad guy on Gunsmoke.
Ford gets shot and drops dead, dropping his gun. Gun bounces back into his teeth as he's coming down. Studio sends him
to the dentist they have on retainer. Dentist does a horrible job, and Ford is in pain, so he goes to sue the dentist.
Dentist had sold practice and moved on.
