Jaeger19, the functions of per-visit or percentage of price fees are to reduce costs and excessive use.
Fixed amounts of annually reductions of covered service have substantially more detrimental impact upon the poorest of patients.

And so are deductibles.
And fixed amount of annually reductions of covered service have little detrimental impact on the poorest of patients because they qualify for Medicaid... which means there is no deductibles.. and usually no out of pocket costs at all.
And if they have medicare and are the poorest of patients.. then they qualify for Medicaid to supplement their medicare.. and still have little to no out of pocket costs.
