The concierge physician care highlighted in the article does more harm than good for patients. Hospital consolidation drives inequities by increasing the cost of care without corresponding increases in quality. Furthermore, concierge physician care reduces the availability of primary care physicians as each concierge physician serves a few hundred patients versus thousands.
Patients should not have to face 30% to 50% higher spending for their health care without any difference in their health outcomes. Health policy should address the increasing rise in hospital consolidation to ensure that Americans are getting the care at the price and quality they deserve.
How is it possible that Elon Musk has not been charged over all the people who have died because of Tesla's autopilot? How is it possible that the sale of any Tesla vehicle has not been blocked? If you advertise full self-driving and people use it as such, you can't hide behind fine print that says that it's not actually a full self-driving vehicle.
