Quote:Again, Obama care specifically outlined a section within the law to allow concierge services an opening to provide care.

I think I've made my point...

Face it, the private sector is a terrible solution to a public problem. This is why we have governments. Because, while an open and fair market works in many situations, matters that relate to the public good and social fabric and infrastructure of a society tend to fail when driven by a profit motive.

You're missing the import of what you are saying. The ACA contributed to the growth of Concierge medicine the way criminals contribute to the growth of police stations. Long before the ACA we discussed direct care models as a response to reduced reimbursements from CMS but no real action was taken because the current circumstances weren't dire enough. What does that explosive growth post-ACA say about the attitudes of both the patient and provider populations today?


And, again, the true limitation on this care model is the government regulations that will deny forms of care to patients who choose it. This is NOT a free market issue, its a government in the way issue.
