My hope is that ACA causes so many doctors and hospitals to drop out of 3rd-Party payer systems, accepting only cash, that we actually see the rise of a true free-market health-care system.
Could happen, it would take some bold folks to do it. Govt is currently funding 46% of all healthcare.
Uninsured medical bills are typically repaid at 3 to 7 percent currently.
But some success stories could entice others to jump in. It could become a profitable niche.
