I have a question about free market medicine that perhaps you can answer. I recently had occasion but buy some health care outside the standard insurance process. The discussions about money were handled by a staff person whose job that was. So, if business were done the way it was described in that piece I posted, would physicians not need staff to handle the money stuff just as they now need staff to handle insurance claims? Or do you think that doctors would engage the discussions of treatment options just as they do now only then there would be a money component to consider? I'm wondering how much staff time and effort would be saved if the money discussions were between the provider and the patient rather than between the provider and the insurance companies.
