Payments are also covered in the chapters for this week.   In the Readings, there are also interesting articles on what people and insurers pay to providers.  This is turn led to legislation for pricing transparency for what institutions charge!  Read these and let me know if this is going to help with the cost of Healthcare or is it all a scam!!
