Direct primary care used to be the only model; this in living memory. Insurance started out as disaster only care, and then bureaucratic creep took it from there. Now we have a system where nobody can practically tell you the cost of a service until after you’ve committed to pay for it. Beating a system with that level of information inefficiency by 95% isn’t even surprising.
- bshep 8y agoThe pendulum swings both ways? we started off with direct primary care, then moved to fully insured care, things are moving back towards direct primary care, i believe the model presented in the article or something along those lines will be what the US healthcare system will move to over the next 10-20years.
