Another observation: if the doctor opts out, and allows payment by credit-card,
then observe what happens:
 - the doctor gets, say, 98% of the billed-amount,
 - the credit-card company gets, say, 2% of the billed-amount.
(What is the actual "cut" which the CCC gets?)

Note that the CCC makes quite a profit,
given the total amount of medical-billings annually in this province,
and the doctor takes a 2% pay-cut!

Free-enterprise at its finest! :-)
