Direct Primary Care means Evidence Based Medicine

All healthcare solutions are either impossible or trivial. It’s impossible until you understand it, then it’s trivial. #DirectCare

You’re worried about the debt. Fine. Name the line item. It’s healthcare. It has always been healthcare. The federal government does not buy healthcare like a market. It buys healthcare like a Soviet planning committee with lobbyists. CMS sets prices. Congress creates carveouts. HHS writes rules nobody understands. Then every trade association in Washington shows up to turn one sentence into a billion-dollar reimbursement advantage. Friends on Ways and Means? Congratulations. You found margin. Protected category? Congratulations. You found a moat. Special payment model? Congratulations. You found a taxpayer-funded annuity. Everyone wants to argue about Medicaid fraud in California or Minneapolis because it makes for a clean villain. The real villain is bigger. It is the entire healthcare bureaucracy pretending central planning becomes moral because the acronym is federal. Medicare and Medicaid keep growing faster than the economy. Healthcare already consumes roughly a third of federal spending. Zero out foreign aid. Zero out culture-war nonsense. Zero out half the things cable news screams about. The debt still wins because the machine keeps writing healthcare checks nobody priced in a real market. This is why every serious debt conversation eventually ends in healthcare. Not tanks. Not Iran. Not some DEI grant your uncle found on Facebook. Healthcare. The deficit is a hospital bill with a flag on it.

#DirectCare is @Costco for healthcare. Thats the whole model.

Direct primary care practice @AtlasMD co-founder Josh Umbehr, M.D., on the real math behind DPC: 600 patients, $50/month, 20% overhead. "It's often the practices that charge the least that end up making the most." 🔗 hubs.li/Q04jpK_D0 #DirectPrimaryCare #PrimaryCare

Great to see that #DirectCare is being used by gubernatorial candidates and discussed as solutions for states to make healthcare affordable again. wtmj.com/shows/point-taken/2…

Agreed, this is why it’s essential that health care and ins prices are as transparent as possible, ie 100% transparent

The annual cost of health care for a family of four covered through a typical employer plan is an eye-watering $37,824 in 2026, according to a Milliman estimate out this week. You don't beat the system, you let the system beat itself. Standard health ins is a bubble and when it bursts, #DirectCare adoption will be historic. axios.com/newsletters/axios-…

This is a must watch on the problems with pharmacy benefit managers.

New @axios Vitals: Health insurers are running ads blaming hospital monopolies & drugmakers for rising costs. They're not wrong — but they're not the solution either. #DirectCare offers a real alternative: transparent pricing, unlimited visits, free telemedicine, no copays and plenty of time with your physician for a flat monthly fee. Plus medications and labs wholesale for pennies a pill. While DC points fingers, DPC delivers care. axios.com/newsletters/axios-…

Imagine if this ability was targeted at fixing healthcare? Will that be @elonmusk’s next great challenge? #DirectCare

These deductibles are higher than what people used to pay for their entire premiums.

I pay $500 a month for health insurance. My deductible is $6,000. That means I pay $6,000 a year just to have insurance. Then $6,000 more before it actually kicks in. That’s $12,000 out of pocket before insurance saves me a single dollar. I am not insured. I am pre-bankrupted.
