I imagine that Congress will have to make paying of cash illegal, in order to force everyone, especially the young and healthy who will be net payers, into the system. Anyone preparing their counter-0bamaCare strategy should consider how they will access the black market, where cash will be welcome.

Doctors may not be the best businesspersons in the world which why so many have business managers — but they will definitely want those cash-paying customers. My guess is that, as now, docs will take one or two ‘trusted’ employees into their confidence and have them handle the ‘cash’ patients’ billings and such.
The good thing about ‘cash’ is that you generally get a nice discount for paying cash. Nearly all docs currently take cash; now they’ll just take more of it.
