Very nice, John. I too have seen a big difference in expectations and demands from those patients with HSAs. And, going one step further, perhaps the government could assist those without insurance by supporting and expanding inner-city and/or regional clinics (such as Planned Parenthood)that would provide total primary care and some specialty care. I am sure they could hire docs to either work full or part-time or moonlight there. Provide money to medical schools and nursing schools and dental schools in exchange for their services in staffing similar clinics. There are so many things that could be done without socializing the entire system.
Also, perhaps we should send Dr. Mostashari a link to AC.
