@jpallas I think so too. I had the same experience, that they said 'nah, we're not recoding anything', when I asked them first, but I also suspect this was in part their fault, though.

My opinions about the Sutter Health monopoly in the Bay are, really, comparably vitriolic to my opinions on the insurers, if not more so. But, annoyingly, they have no regulators to respond to (and the State settled the antitrust case for far too little, IMO), so there's nothing to do about it, so I don't really post much about that kind of thing.
