deny the claim because of some technicality, doesn't mean doctors are being pressured for anything. If we had single payer, all those fees and procedures would be outlined ahead of time with the doctors and other health care providers in agreement with the government. That's how they do it in Canada. The provinces meet with the reps of the health care providers every year or every two years depending on the province and they hammer out the details of how things will be ordered and paid. When the patient goes to see the doctor, there is no ambiguity and no delay so all can concentrate on practicing health care and not the game of how to get the insurance to pay.
