RICHARD...this statement could not be more wrong...

IT's all a matter of economics-the more the system can pare by eliminating simple dr. visits, they beleive that it will save money.
What the "system" is I have no idea but insurance companies, medicare...anyone in the health care industry want to encourage preventative care - "simple" doctor visits, etc.

A major shift in insured products this year is intended to drive that behavior.

IBM announced there will be no co-pay for routine, preventative doctor visits in their medical plans. Many other plans - including most Blue products are having one co-pay for preventative and a higher co-pay for a doctor visits for other than preventative. Preventative care includes most screening as well.

The issues of healthcare are difficult and emotional enough without people spreading false information. It does not help anything.
