In just about any other context, Harry would be complaining about the

Yet another figment of your imagination. Why would I object to fee for
service?

My bad. I forgot you have a fiscal interest in the fee for service
model. Most of your brethren in the "single payer" camp blame fee for
service as the cause of higher costs (and they may be right). It
incentives unnecessary tests and procedures. They like the UK model
where doctors are salaried workers.,

It's your responsibility to pick the right doctors and other medical
providers. Obviously, you didn't.

You can only choose from what is available and who your insurance has
a contract with. In the case of my wrists they were the highest rated
people in town.
