No I do not. I don’t think the government should be involved at all. That’s why I hate Ryancare, which is fixing to be Trumpcare if he agrees with this bill, and it sounds like he does. That’s my whole reason for being so angry over this amendment! Republican assholes who think anyone other than you and you Dr have a right to this information. YOU were the one who said if you were an employer you felt you had a right to it. People were managing just fine getting insurance, and paying for it, as part of their benefits package with an employer.
They need to completely repeal Obamacare, allow insurance sales across state lines, and maybe some oversight or law regarding medical professionals, hospitals, etc that charge insurance companies $300 for a Dr visit but charge an individual who self pays $125 for the same visit. I’ll admit I’m not exactly sure the best way to do that because as I said I don’t want government involved. But I do believe insurance companies should be charged the same as self payers, because that contributes to the rising cost of insurance.

From the article (more at site):
Sean Hannity has talked about this exemplary medical practice in Kansas City. It is part of what is called the “Direct Care Movement.” Makes me want to move there! Why President Trump is not consulting this guy is beyond me!
Dr. Josh Umbehr continues to garner national attention for his insurance-free approach to medicine.
Umbehr, the founder of Wichita-based AtlasMD, was a guest on the Fox News program The Sean Hannity Show Tuesday evening to discuss the business and how it can be used to drive change within health care.
Umbehr said direct primary care provides real solutions that could be enacted to help Americans and drive down health care costs.
“We don’t take insurance,” Umbehr said on the program.” “We don’t need insurance for the common things.”
At Atlas, patients pay a monthly membership fee — from $10 to $100 per month. Members have access to doctors in person, by phone or through social media channels.
Patients don’t pay co-pays and aren’t charged extra for office visits. Medications typically cost “pennies on the pill,” Umbehr told Hannity.
Imaging often is done at a lower cost through the Atlas model as well.
Umbehr said an X-ray, for example, might cost an Atlas member $20 to $40 including radiology reads versus $100 or so at other clinics. Similar services might cost $500 to $1,000 through a hospital emergency room, Umbehr said.
Hannity, who long has been a supporter of Umbehr and his business, said the doctor is a person whom everyone in Congress should know.
