A good part of my decision to retire involved insurance companies and other non medical entities trying to tell me how I should treat my patients, pharmacies telling me which drugs were "acceptable" and which weren't (based primarily on cost, of course), and hospitals telling me which surgeons I needed to work with and when.
Thank goodness I do not have to work in today's environment
And I don't particularly care what GE thinks.

I concur that i'm pleased not to have to work in today's environment.
In my last position I was responsible for 15 hospitals, and a few dozen owned practices. I can guarantee you that I was one of those telling contracted practices (radiology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, etc.) what my expectations were.
You were what I called a hospital based practice. If you didn't like the terms of the contract you knew the consequences.
I'll let GE speak for himself, but I suspect you know well where I stand.
