ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: A
All these changes resulted in conflicts among providers, patients, employers, and the insurance plans, particularly when services deemed necessary by the consumer and provider were denied insurance coverage. Everyone blamed everyone else. This did not allow for costs to be controlled, impact the demand for health care, or cause employers to discontinue their insurance plans for employees.
