The Premiums Doctors Bill
Hawaii bill forces 12% of premiums to go to doctors
Relating To Health Insurance.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would make insurers send 12% of each premium straight to a patient’s primary doctor, even if the doctor sees no one.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers could see higher health costs because insurers may raise premiums to cover the new 12% payment, while doctors get guaranteed money regardless of care provided.
