Doctors and insurers clash over US law that protects against surprise billing

Private equity-backed staffing companies are fighting No Surprises Act, which protects patients from unexpected out-of-network bills
If everything is fundamentally contract law. How the hell did we allow surprise billing to be legal. Prices are all made up, but ruining your life is real. America needs to change.
Doctors are seeking the highest compensation. Insurance companies are seeking the lowest compensation. The surprise is what they agree to pay and you being left with the difference.
It's basically Godzilla and Muto fighting it out, the US Government saying "Let them fight", and the cities they destroy while being allowed to fight is the American public.
