Has anyone had any experience with, or done any research on 'concierge' health care plans? I have a doctor friend I've known for many year that is switching over to one and I am considering moving over to it. It doesn't replace your health care insurance, but for a fee you pay to the plan you get some pretty extensive preventative health care testing on an annual basis, guaranteed 24X7 access to your doctor, a health care 'plan' that your doc puts together for you every year, and a family doctor that has only a few patients to care for so theoretically you get his or her undivided attention. The literature and online stuff I've looked at looks pretty interesting. I think it would cost me about $3200 a year for my wife and I. That seems like a lot, but for what you get it might be a pretty good deal.
Just wondering if anyone has looked at that option. One of my concerns about ACA is the number of new patients that my family doctor might have to take on. That and I hate it that your run of the mill insurance company won't pay for anything preventative.
