I think it’s awful in so many ways.

To get a reasonable of level care, you have to pay more. It allows doctors to load up the patient list, then see who is willing to pay to get to the front of the line.

To be honest, it’s just another way for the practices to pull money out of people rather than focusing on providing a standard of care according to who needs it most and not differentiating for those who can afford to pay more.

As someone who’s had some pretty restricting chest pain the past few days and a “PCP” who really couldn’t give half a fuck if I keeled over and died tomorrow, I’m fed up. Had nothing but bad experiences trying to find a Dr. around North Chesterfield who actually cares, can see me within 3 months of calling with a problem, and also provide the needed care.
