Say goodbye to your favorite health care provider. She's going to start a new career as a house flipper.

Providers are complicit, though, in the rising cost of health care, right?
Part of health insurance reform is breaking the symbiotic (and grossly pernicious, for the consumer) bond between providers and insurers, which results in both sides benefiting from higher costs, which results in increased haggling between both sides for payment, which in results in higher costs, and so on.
For being groups that supposedly don't get along on a day-to-day basis, providers and insurers seem to be on the same side of the lobbying on this issue.
