Thats the idea. make everything difficult unless you do it the way they want. Have to call my insurance today to find my account number for sending a payment through billpay as they are basically hiding it because it necessary to pay outside of putting something on their system. don't want you paying from your system (bank) must put in your card in theirs.
at this point, individual effort wont cut it beyond making people feel better. a big collective push for laws, open software, reform or whathaveyou is what it would take to move the needle.
