And the insurance companies win again!

A doctor in New York City had an idea: charge a monthly fee per person for individuals and families who were uninsured to come into his office for as much medical care as they need.

The insurance companies protested, and got the politicians to tell him he couldn't do that without an insurance license, forcing him to charge a per-visit fee that will almost certainly cost more to those who need it most.

And people wonder why medical care costs are skyrocketing.
