You describe a problem of demographics. It is clear that id states like Mississippi where jackpot justice almost drove all doctors out of the state, that imbalances would have to exist. Regardless of how much a person paid for third party payer medical coverage if there was no (zero, zilch) provider available to provide coverage, the quality of medical care would be worse than the worst practitioner any where else. Another demographic cause for the phenomena you describe is the projected expenses of the pool in which one's coverage is provided. Two companies with different medical health levels might have one paying significantly more for less coverage. Of course if you examine two shopping carts and one is filled with prepared meals and junk food and the other with fresh vegetables, meats and fruits you might also notice the phenomenon of one paying more for less. "a more expensive health care does not necessarily deliver better healthcare when compared with cheaper medical care."
