LMAO... why? Health Insurance Co., of which Party A is a member, is going to pay for Party B, just because Party A and B have a contract together? Absolutely not, at least there's no legal requirement to. Plus, anyone could just contract with anyone for health insurance benefits... hell, how about multiple contracts with multiple partners? Health Insurance Co. is going to pay for Party B (and Parties C-Z because they also have contracts) because it's nice customer service? One thing I know about Health Insurance Companies is how much they loooooooooooove to pay out on claims that they aren't required to by the contract that THEY actually signed.

Exactly... I'm just being, you know, "reality" based
hehe "Just get rid of it all and do it by contract" or "just keep the current system and do it all by contract" are either unrealistic solutions or are riddled with nuclear legal landmines for the simplest of situations.
