The prices paid for medical services are fixed by Medicare and private insurance companies and amount to far less than the billings.  Moreover, the prices are fixed in a way to eliminate private medical practice and force doctors into an employee relationship with “health maintenance organizations.” Private practice in America is being extinguished, especially at the level of family practitioners.
