A new Model for real health care is emerging

Jeff Childers Reports

The Floridian ran a story yesterday headlined, “Health and Wellness Center Opening in Florida Embraces Medical Freedom.” It describes the pending opening of a membership-based, no-insurance medical practice that will provided patients with one-to-one doctor-patient care.

It sounds quite like the concierge practice that the Childers family uses. We pay about $300 a month for all five of us to have direct access to doctors and nurse practitioners, whether face-to-face, by phone or even text message. No insurance. No deductibles. No waiting for months to get an appointment. It’s been great, the staff is friendly and helpful, and there’s no waiting in this room and then that room and stuff.

The disintermediation of healthcare is long overdue.

Based in Venice, Florida, the “We the People Health and Wellness Center” will offer pediatrics, internal medicine, patient advocacy, “long haul” treatment, and vaccine injury therapy. I bet vaccine injury is going to be a growth area.

It’s a local-interest story, but this kind of thing might just be the future of useful health care in this country.
