So this was a godsend for us; but obviously not for lots of people; it's basically for people with tons of medical expenses.
Yeah, that is the thing about the PPO vs the HMO options. I haven't spent one year's deductible in the last 20 years combined. I don't have a problem being referred by a primary care physician. If I ever decided to visit a doctor I guess a regular GP is where I would head anyway.
