Are subscription models the future of healthcare?
- aksss 6y agoThese plans are often known as "Direct Primary Care", and from what I understand have to be approved by state regulatory boards (largely comprised of established or retired doctors) before a provider can offer such a service. This would be a great alternative to "no healthcare" for the uninsured, even though it in no way covers catastrophic scenarios. At least it would provide general health/wellness and preventative care (what most people need on an annual basis) at a far cheaper price point than insurance premiums + deductibles.

- aiscapehumanity 6y agoThat sounds ab9ut right. Its a band-aid for expanding standard care and standard diagnoatics and general preventative(pre-op weight manahement, diabetes etc). For specialist and subsequent non-streamlined health necessities like treatment for extensive illnesses (cancer, autoimmune disease, cardiovasc, nervous, muscular disease, tumor response care) and spur of the moment operation stuffs, wont hold much. Need a bigger systemic solution.
