I know for a fact that it was a pain when my grandma started having signs of dementia and our family had to switch to a new doctor for her because her older one transferred to another hospital.

It permits doctors to be real doctors for patients and no more third party (health plans) intervention. Here, the doctors will establish a better relationship and understanding of the patients (and their families). This is how you can effectively provide care especially for chronic diseases. Ultimately, the cost will only be a fraction of what we spend today. By the way, are there any doctors in the country whom I can sign up with? I simply do not want to deal with health plans anymore.
