“That means that you cannot charge to access insured services. If that’s what [Marda Loop is] doing, they will be shut down, they will be fined, [or] we will withhold payments to them. So it won’t be allowed to happen,” Smith said.

Agreed. However, will this clinic be allowed to keep its doors open after the ‘investigation’? I will wait to hear the government’s rationale if they end up not shutting it down.
