For those of you interested in concierge medicine,

ObamaCare. Working directly with his patients and cutting out the insurance and government bureaucrats, lowers costs for the patients and increases the quality of care they receive. This shows how free market solutions can cut healthcare costs. This is the way out of the healthcare trap, and ironically it's being driven by doctors themselves who want to be doctors rather than insurance administrators. So-called "concierge medicine" is available in most areas and the number of doctors who "opt out" of the rigged system seems to grow each year. Money quote: "If you had insurance for gas they'd tell you how often you could fill up, what gas stations you could use, and you'd need pre-approval to take a trip out of town." That's basically our insurance-based and government run "healthcare" system today. I recently read a current article this and there was a list of costs for common RX’s that were unbelievably cheap. This article claimed there were approximately 600 doctors nationwide that were operating like this. There are hospitals like the one in Oklahoma City that don’t take insurance, whose procedures cost a fraction of what we pay in traditional hospitals. If you had a healthcare savings account, chances are you could afford many hospital procedures just using that. Or just buy a major-medical policy to insure against catastrophic illness. The way we use insurance now is simply paying someone to pay our bills for us, and it’s very expensive. Obamacare just added another layer of middlemen to the equation. Just imaging going to a doctor who is treating you like a customer, not just trying to satisfy some insurance company’s requirements. ;
