I’ve always thought clinics like this would be an excellent idea...but I will guarantee that places like this will be targeted for destruction.

But, But, But, if people start going to clinics like this and start paying cash for surgeries and other procedures then hospitals will go out of business. Then where will all the illegals go for free healthcare? That wouldn’t be fair! /s

Under Obamacare I don’t think that doctors can open this type of facility.

Hmm, I wonder if the government taking action to ban such institutions will give people even half a clue as to how much the government actually cares about improving goods and services.

The major cause of exploding U.S. heath care costs is the third-party payer system,[...] Because private insurance companies or the government generally pick up most of the tab for medical services, patients don’t have the normal incentive to seek out value.

This is exactly right. Perfectly right. And it is best evidenced by the fact that it (health) is the only segment in our economy where cash on the barrel-head is worth less in payment than if one happens to be signed to an insurance policy. Everywhere else, cash is king. The best deal should always be cash on the barrel-head.

When it all comes down to brass tacks, it cannot be cheaper for someone else to pay your bills for you - There has to be profit in it for them too.

Government intrusion will only calcify the props that hold this sector up - causing them to continue, rather than breaking them down.
