If you read the article you'll find that the problem is that while the hospital may accept your insurance, a particular doctor won't. Also for some reason some doctors don't even know what insurance programs they'll bill.

Seems easy to solve by forcing doctors to accept the insurance plans that their hospital does.

Seems easier to solve by just having a single entity paying the doctors'/hospitals' costs.
