Looking into it, I found it is a provision of Obamacare:

“Enter Direct Primary Coverage, a little known provision of the ACA, that has a growing following on the West Coast of the US, but has yet to be embraced everywhere. The concept is simple: people with no insurance at all, or those in Bronze or Silver ACA plans with large deductibles, enroll at a local physician or clinic, and for a monthly fee, patients get access to medical care that they otherwise would not have”.

For republican haters/cretins, and the like, ignorance has been bliss.

I guess even after voting against it, did not help them find out much about it. Head in the sand.

A good idea, I believe. It will take the edge off some healthcare needs, for some people, especially some regular examinations and maintenance. But, when good doctors get into it, will their prices rise? Furthermore, this is not insurance, no hospitalization. With the addition of insurance for hospitalization, how much the total cost?

In any case it plugs a good hole for some. And should Medicaid pay these fees(most likely much cheaper)for those who can’t afford it, and children?

It is worth doing and seeing where it leads.
