>For every doctor's appointment serviced by Heal, ~3 appointments are taken away from a community clinic somewhere.
It sounds to me like you may be making unjustified assumptions to get to that conclusion. Citation?
- notatoad 9y agoI outlined my reasoning in my post above, unless heal is creating new doctors they are hiring away doctors from more efficient types of care.
- trevyn 9y agoYour reasoning is based on assumptions that there is no evidence for. Not all doctors are employed in providing care, you don’t know what Heal doctors are doing between seeing patients, you don’t know how Heal sources or compensates doctors, medical efficiency is not measured in patient-minutes, you don’t know how many patients a Heal doctor sees vs a clinic doctor, you don’t know the bottlenecks of community clinics, etc. etc.

I have no horse in this race, but I found it interesting that the above was followed by four “you don’t know…” statements. You’re making assumptions as well. The person to whom you are responding may know a great deal more than they have revealed.
