Free Market Medicine
10 Years From Inception The Free Market Medical Association Meeting Update
This Shirt Just Has To Be Promoted! Thanks Savvos Health For This Fun “Shocker”!
But Wait There Is More:
The top three books in this photo were picked up by me at this years 10th anniversary Free Market Medical Association Conference. The bottom primer was written years ago and I have displayed and shared with my patients and colleagues over the years. Dr. Grace Torres-Hodges is in North Florida and has written a very readable primer with the physician as the intended audience. I highly recommend it to our local doctors who are considering leaving corporate medicine but feel trapped.
Mr. Matt Oort wrote Save Your Company and gave a very motivating talk comparing the Heath Care Situation in America to Paul Revere’s biography and historical place our American Revolution. He is a Human Resources employee/consultant who shares the tremendous positive impact his personal journey has had on the Wisconsin health care market. He is planning an event this fall in Wisconsin to bring free market synergy to the northern states region.
And The Next Ginsu Offer Is:
I recommend any business owner or Human Resources executive to watch this video.
This dear readers, is what I have been talking about for years now. Did you get the repeated real life case stories of 50% savings for health care plans? The messaging on this video is so smooth and understated. One of our local orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Michael Havig MD has parts of his presentation in this video. He offers the market all in cash bundled prices for orthopedic care programs and surgeries. He has started a health care service that allows patients to get access to like-minded surgeons as well as himself. It is called HealthMe. This is happening right here in “River City” folks. Smart and caring doctors are chiseling into the open cry pricing and value proposition. This is the way forward.
The system and especially our federal government vis-a-vis Medicare and Medicaid programs and creating laws like Obamacare are putting the third party payment platform in the top position of Cartel Control over your and my personal health and welfare. Those of us proposing free market solutions, are chipping away at that base. I request everyone open up their minds and hearts to the small but burgeoning “informed” free market approach to health care.
My recent poll from this past weekend’s post indicates 100% of Medicare respondees want access choice and none are happy with Medicare. Local business owner patients want preferably a virtual meeting to learn more about more affordable and better health care. I am hoping to get my other independent Primary Care colleagues and inquiring patients and market participants on an open question meeting in the coming weeks. As the alternative, price transparent market opens up, the access to care will increase and the price will go down. After we prove this to enough in government the system will have no choice but to offer this market to Medicare beneficiaries. It will political suicide not to.
Have a great weekend readers!
If you answered my prior poll and want to give me feedback, questions or suggestions for a Florida Southwest Free Market Medical Association virtual meeting just message me.
Oh … and Lee PR department saying I’m carrying water for private competitor. Absolutely absurd. I hope Thursday we can have a conversation. If like last time the administration and board will just sit there smugly “hearing the public” but not able to reply to feedback.
It will be interesting to see what happens as the physician shortage steadily worsens and the docs finally wake up to discover their power.
