Brilliant. Interesting that many organizations, especially in Direct Primary Care, are advancing game-changing models of care that mostly involve physicians seeing fewer patients than ever! It is definitely the right of approach from an individual patient point of view, but is infinitely far from a practical solution given all the constraints you so eloquently organize in this article.

That was well put, as usual. I agree with everything, with the exception of Non Physician Providers being a practical solution when they undermine the value of doctors. Maybe this is temporary. The truth is Americans have the power to change the current state of healthcare, but change must start with employers. Employers control the flow of finances and patients and need an affordable, high-value solution for healthcare. The solution is self-funding. It's time for everyone to take a stand, and for employers to lead the way to better healthcare.
