Health care is a fun topic for most Americans, and particularly scary for foreigners who are visiting the US. I currently use a direct primary care physician. I originally found this service because I wanted to lessen my dependence on my health insurance and use an independent doctor. This is a service that I believe will grow, and seems to be reminiscent of systems of the past in which people would have consistent relationships with family doctors in their communities. Direct primary care doctors are doctors that are paid with monthly memberships for access to talk with them directly by phone, email, and set up appointments quickly without having to go through the logistics of a large hospital system and insurance processing. For people who may have an entrepreneurial spirit, independent creators, and people who want to have a more personal connection with their medical professionals, it is worth knowing who the direct primary care medical groups are in your city. It is something that I hope grows, especially given the recent migration towards smaller companies.
