The second is a fee for service system in which doctors make money according to how many tests, procedures, and drugs they do. If they aren't paid enough, they won’t do extra work for you, and you’ll pay twice as.
The third system uses a capitation system that pays doctors according not to how many procedures they do but what they spend. This encourages doctors not to perform surgery but to opt for less costly treatments like talking therapies.
