the simple fact of the matter is a specialist's doctor's office knows that their fees are just the beginning and the really expensive shit comes with all the testing a specialists requires.

they don't want the nightmare of dealing with cash customers paying that way.

i know what i am talking about here.

One of the things I prefer about being uninsured is that I can choose my own specialists and not stress about in network or not.

Where do you live? I wonder if it is a state thing.

Also, if you are elderly, then a lot of doctors won't take you on because of existing limits on what can be charged, with or without insurance.
