The idea was that the insurance companies would create a competitive market by negotiating the lowest price and signing contracts that would send more people to that specific healthcare provider. The problem started because insurance companies started signing agreements with more and more healthcare providers in the same region, and the healthcare providers no longer have an incentive to be competitive because they can no longer be guaranteed that people would be sent to them. And the insurance companies really don’t care because any increased costs that they incur, just get passed on to the consumer.
