An article in today’s New York Times provides another example of how, when the patient owns and controls the money involved, entrepreneurs respond with medical services far more convenient and customer-friendly than your typical doctor’s office visit.


Critics of physician house-call services will argue that such services are great if you have $250 to $450 to spare. I see these stories and wonder what types of services low-income workers would already have if they had been allowed to own and control all of their health care dollars for the past several decades.
