My doct charges $55 for a office visit, $25 extra for a cortisone shot. She doesn't accept insurance at all. Not medicare, not medicade, not BC/BS, not Obamacare or any other policy. I just pay cash at the time of service.
What a concept. A snapshot of times in the past. Worked just fine back then. I think the health care industry needs to go in one of two directions. Some form of Medicare for all or insurance for major items (broken bones, major illness, etc.) and pay as you go or concierge service for day to day medical care.
