I read most of this article, and I *strongly* agree with it.

I know a lot of MRI centers also that are offering flat rates if you don't go through insurance as well, average discount from the insurance rate? $600 per procedure. That is a lot of money. Hopefully Obamacare will push us back to free market healthcare as more and more doctors refuse to accept it. You have millions of people who signed up and paid premiums only to find out the insurance companies never got their information, so they are not covered.. imagine how the doctors feel when they find out they are not going to get paid for the work they performed.
