The cost savings and improvements in health-care quality that can be realized when a physician escapes the crazy system we have now, which people mistakenly think is a free market, are staggering.
Dr. Josh Umbehr operates a concierge family practice in Wichita, Kansas, and counsels doctors about making the transition to direct care, bypassing insurance and government, through Atlas.MD. Atlas.MD, is a web-based app designed so that direct primary care physicians can operate their own insurance-free practices. By allowing physicians the ability to bypass the massive amount of regulatory rules that go along with receiving government based insurance funds, many doctors are able to cut their prices. Tom Woods discusses the advantages of this form of system with Umbehr who is currently utilizing it.
