Gera:
"Page 127: The government will set wages."
.
direct quote from page 127:
PHYSICIANS.—The Secretary shall provide
2 for the annual participation of physicians under the
3 public health insurance option, for which payment
4 may be made for services furnished during the year.
.
This is what we have now - in capitated plans physicians get paid for annual participation , and in fee-for -service HMO's we get paid a set fee per billing code determined by the insurer.
Only in out-of pocket "no insurance accepted" practices physicians set their own fees.
.
As I suspected, Gera posted not direct quotes, but his ad lib interpretations.
