Are HMO's good for us?

are HMo's good for us? are they just a scam for the doctors and nurses to make more money on the public.where does it end and where does it begin to change

It's a problem for everyone, including all health care providers. The change needs to occur with the HMO's themselves because they're the only ones profiting, not us. HMO reimbursement is lower than my costs. I lose money every time I see an HMO patient.
