Doctors are finding economic models to get around ObamaCare

I attended a conference last Friday in Orlando, where there were 250 doctors in the house. I was the evening keynote speaker, and I talked about fear factors in health care and health insurance that have patients and consumers in a great state of uncertainty.

Skyrocketing health insurance premiums and deductibles, ObamaCare rules and regulations, not being able to keep your doctor, no relief from a dysfunctional Congress and being denied services by some medical facilities because your insurance is not in their network are just some of the things that are scaring people sick.

Some people are so sick of the crap and confusion that they are temporarily going without health insurance, and hoping they don't get sick.

The results of a survey were presented during a session I attended. I was stunned to learn that many doctors are so frustrated with the new bureaucracy of regulations that they are no longer enjoying their profession, and they want to get out of the bureaucratic quagmire.

The good news is that they do not want to quit their profession. Instead, they are looking for non-government and non-insurance company alternatives to do what many of them dreamed of doing when they chose their profession.

More good news is that new ways to obtain really affordable health insurance are emerging, but the swamp does not want you to know about them. In fact, the swamp is trying to discourage some of these models because they threaten the swamp's bureaucratic grip on health care and health insurance. But I'm going to tell you about them!

At least a thousand doctors have set up their medical practices based on Direct Patient Care (DPC). The patient pays a reasonable monthly fee direct to the doctor for primary care with no government involvement. You would still need insurance for serious or catastrophic illness, but the costs would be nowhere near the insane costs people are experiencing today under ObamaCare.

Another model is HIPnation (Healthcare Impact Partners Nation). It's a DPC model with primary care services plus, selected specialists, and a monthly fee per person, but also with no government involvement.

Liberty HealthShare is another model where members share in the cost of each other's medical costs using a proprietary algorithm to determine who pays what for whom. They already have a substantial membership base, and no government meddling.
