Guys,
Looks doubtful. We still need to rustle up a few more bucks just to purchase a billing system and pay a consultant to assist us in taking it back in house. Then there is the issue of these expensive accommidations, airfare, meals out, possibly car rental just to get from airport to hotel and back again (no less go out in the afternoon, evenings), if we have to bring the kids this all goes double plus childcare for the meetings at least. We're a starving FP's office on the verge of going under, we are financing the corporate salaries and profits of these mega cartels. Care to pass around the hat???
I'm going to try and con my mom to come to Syracuse and send a few days with her grandkids so perhaps we could come alone, just the two of us, and at least half our expenses, no less have an evening or two alone as adults with and without our friends we are hooking up.
I love the concept of Jim's clinic, but it sort implies a new corporate master. Is each PCP supposed to have a separate contract with a separate large employeer group? What about small and medium sized businesses like even ourselves?
I just had a great idea that will never see the light of day. Nationalize only the major medical, hospitalization side of medicine, final reign in drug prices, babysit and watch to make sure employeer return most but not quite all of their new found savings to their employees who for years got garbage health insurance instead of increased wages and allow basic office visit care, like PCP's to return to a totally free market, participation is anti-trust, colluding with the insurance companies against those who would care to remain in a free market stance, and privately contract directly with the actual end consumer of our services, the patient, No insurance claims allowed for basic primary care!
