Reply to comment by modernhomeowner in Rant: MA healthcare is among the best in the country, but insurance is wicked expensive by nebirah

Sure, IPAs, MSOs, ACOs and any other independent physician groups, or IDNs will have more bargaining power.

I’m lucky and have a great plan through my employer, but I know there are many who are much less fortunate.

I have a fantastic plan too, the plan isn't the point, its how much they pay physicians that dictate the cost of the plan. They agreed to pay that otolaryngologist $850, when it would have been $250 with a provider in any other state, that raises our insurance costs, which was the OP's self-described rant.
