Direct Patient Care - then New-Old type of Medical Practice

I saw an interesting new website, jointhewedge.com. It's trying to develop a listing of doctors accross the country who are joining the growing movement of direct patient care - essentially a cash based practice. Although still small in number increasingly doctors are considering this difficult step as the only way of getting out from under the oppressive thumb of the so called health care planners who are destroying medical practice and patient care in the face of all common sense.

This is medical care on the old model which existed when I started, infinitely better than what we've got today. I'm not talking about all the new technological development which has been amazing, but the essence of the doctor-patient relationship.

These days more patients with high deductables and health savings accounts are looking for doctors whose fees are more affordable and comprehensable, and at the same time who will provide more time and personal attention to their concerns. This is the point of the website.

I hope I get some pushback on this comment since it's an important subject which is likely to be increasingly common as the government introduces even more new drastic regulations and changes to medical practice.
