„We want unlimited access to primary care. It pays off over the long term. All of the co-pays and deductibles do the opposite of what is claimed. They don’t assure that scarce medical resources are used as efficiently as possible or deter excessive use. They are simply barriers to care.”https://prospect.org/2026/06/01/corporations-and-crisis-of-care-primary-doctors-corporations/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=The%20crisis%20of%20care&utm_campaign=Daily%20Prospect%206-1-2026

The company that makes its product least useful — within the limits of what regulators and employers will tolerate — wins.”

Texas lawmakers are asking whether health insurers are harming patients, employers and physicians.
