I just wish these docs took regular health insurance. I looked into a popular (just about only) facility last year and the beginning consult was around $400. Then they had some sort of "membership" that was far outside my budget. We have paid health insurance through our retirement system but it's not really a benefit if they will only pay allopathic doctors.

It's a shame people have been forced into health insurance plans through their employer. Do they even allow workers to opt out? I believe prior to WWII, people could purchase health insurance, or any other kind of insurance, without outside influence. Once employers began offering it as "a benefit" to attract workers, it started going downhill and here we are now.
I made the decision to cancel health insurance after the "UnAffordable Care Act" increased my monthly premium x3 and more than doubled the deductible to $8000. I did the math and chose to bank that money instead and pay for care as needed. (It's amazing how little I actually needed to see a doctor - outside of the rare emergency.) I did join Liberty Healthshare for the catastrophic possibility (low monthly fee and I chose a deductible I could afford).
Now I don't have any coverage. I don't ever intend to go to a hospital of my own volition, ever again. (Refusing to ever be injected, I wouldn't expect them to help me anyway.) I pay as I go and it's proven to be a lot less than health insurance with no managed care hoops or governmental entanglements. So, while the "out of pocket" fees seem high at first glance, they are a lot less in the long-run and you don't have your records being scoured by insurers and the federal government.
It's definitely worth it. The hard part is breaking free of the system which has intentionally scared us to pieces with the fear of a potential catastrophic illness. Should that day come, I'm prepared to leave this life post haste and any debts can be paid with all I leave behind. And good riddance.
