The current payment model in healthcare using insurance is downright ludicrous, bordering on the absurd. It's a system unlike any other in the economic world, yet somehow people have been convinced that without insurance, they'll be financially ruined by the exorbitant costs of healthcare. But here's the ironic twist: it's actually the insurance itself that's driving people towards financial ruin. And to make matters worse, the lack of transparency in the system is compounding the problem. Imagine a world where primary care, the foundation of healthcare, can flourish without unnecessary financial strain. In this realm, 80% of your healthcare needs can be expertly handled by primary care providers, who aren't out to bankrupt you. We're not talking about complex brain surgeries or intricate joint replacements here. No, primary care is all about human connection, understanding, and nurturing relationships. That's the essence of what healthcare should truly be.
