The problem is that the government will decide what all the doctors and hospitals accepting those vouchers can and can’t do. Same as it always was.
Maybe and maybe not.
The way I see it is the vouchers are apportioned to states who dispense them to beneficiaries with hands off except that the provider be licensed with the state.
Patients should be required to see first a health care counselor or advocate at an intake to plan their year expenditures before a voucher is activated. The counselor/advocate could be an MD, an ND, an LNP or any credentialed administrator approved by the state.
The counseling requirement is subject to abuse by government trying to dictate what, where, who but the counselor will only have authority to counsel on health budgeting and also reviewing a retainer fee provider service agreement and actuarial certification.
The patient will sign a retainer fee contract with a provider but have the right to cancel with 15 day notice.
That’s it, nothing else required by government to impose. Health matters are left to patients and their providers.
