Why classify Physicians as “Health Providers?”
Providing what?
Lumping Physicians with non-physicians as “health providers;”
Demeans, demotes, and decompensates Physicians,
The bona-fide leaders of the health care team as “generic health providers.”
Anyone who can prescribe becomes, a “health provider” on the same pedestal as Physicians!

Physicians reclaim your dignity or become “Health Providers” in the eyes of the avaricious health insurance companies.
This is akin to giving a dog a bad name to hang it.
Thereafter, the health insurance companies feed on the carcass of the dead dog – Physicians.
