    I work for a big healthcare provider and in spite this likely being true, I still hear all the time about trying to “reduce over utilization”. It’s disgusting.

      Is “healthcare provider” an actual provider of healthcare (hospital, private practice, etc) or a middleman?

      Hospitals clearly want to have as many procedures as they can. Insurers likewise want to pay for none. Hence “overutilization”.

      Any way it is, companies gonna chase profit with no eye for people. Remember, they don’t exist for people. They do for money.
