I don’t think this is a surprise. The system isn’t working for providers, it isn’t working for patients, and insurance companies in the middle are making billions by manipulating both sides of the system.

Fatalism about "law lol" is self-fulfilling.
The law and institutions generally are not self-implementing, but require people to take their constitutional, professional, and civic responsibilities seriously.

This is ground I will not concede. The law matters, and the way we talk about it matters, too.
Getting a lot of replies along the lines of "oh, you rube, you still think the law matters" and it feels strategically foolish to just concede that it doesn't. Contest everything. Expose the hypocrisy.
