Insurance rates are skyrocketing for those whose insurance is not furnished by their employer. Deductibles are frequently so high that even the insured may be effectively denied routine access even when insured. The debate should be less about whether Obamacare is good or bad but rather about how medical costs can be reduced,
One intriguing route to sane medical costs is that demonstrated by Dr. Josh Umbehr. The article and the direct interview referenced (which illustrates… dramatic reduction in medicine and lab test costs) should be an important part of our discussion. From the article:
“Umbehr limits his total patient load to six hundred patients, and, for a low monthly fee—starting at just $50 for adults—he will see patients as often as they like for meetings lasting as long as they need. He doesn’t accept insurance for any of his services—enabling him to keep only a single nurse on staff to support three doctors—and he provides many drugs and tests to his patients at cost. Such a practice enables Umbehr to remain focused solely on helping his patients optimize their long-term health—rather than on filing insurance claims with bureaucrats and government-controlled insurance agents looking over his shoulder.”
