Moving towards this simpler payment system allows them to cut out extra paperwork, charge patients less, and focus more on their relationship with patients. Do you think that this is a good idea? Yes

A doctor in Kansas charges his patients $10 a month for pediatric services, $50 a month for adults up to 44 and $100 a month for adults 45 and older. He then is able to charge very little for extra services required. For example he charges $3 for a cholesterol test, while the same test at a traditional doctor's office is typically $90. He is also working with other doctors to provide a network of coverage for services he can't provide. Working with another doctor, his patients are able to have an MRI for $400 instead of the $2,000 that would be charged through an insurance company. Would you prefer to pay fees like these for your health care, or continue your current insurance, copay and payment plan? I'd prefer to stick with my current health insurance

Doctors, such as the one in Kansas, also recommend for their patients to have a high deductible insurance plan to cover extreme emergencies, that may require hospitalization. Would you prefer to only have this emergency insurance plan? Yes
