A friend of mine an, internist/infectious disease specialist, gave me a peek into the future. He no longer takes any insurance, period. He has 22 patients that pay him $20,000/yr and he is available to them 24/7. He's happy making $400,000/yr without all the paper work and it's costs. Just sayin, there will be all kinds of things like this that will limit the # of doctors available and increase appointment times.
