Thanks for sharing. (I live in Wisconsin, and see a functional medicine MD who doesn’t accept insurance.). Your provider has a good model, which hopefully will keep catching on more and more across the USA. I can’t help saying that they should lose the ‘mask’ photos on their home page.

Expand full comment

Exactly!!! That’s one of the questions to ask Doctors you are interviewing to hire as your physician. How did you treat anybody “suspected” of having a “COVID” viruses. How much do you trust PCR tests & why. Are you familiar with cycle thresholds, if not, why? Do you suggest sunscreen creams, etc., etc..

Expand full comment

We knew scientifically over 40 years ago that those masks have no effect on preventing the spread of any virus, or for that matter even most bacteria, which are 20 times larger. What an embarrassingly stupid era in our medical facilities. I would never see a doc that required them, and I've never allowed anyone in or around my house with them. Most people with half a brain were relieved to hear that from me during that time, as repair folks and others felt compelled to do it but didn't like it or believe in it either. It was kind of an Emperor's New Clothes test - we just needed more people to speak the truth and say NO..

Here’s a site (provided by a doc in KY that I connected with on substack) to find a direct primary care practitioner in your state:

That's what we did this year. Our functional holistic doctor is a gem, but he does not do hands on if you need it, so we got on a waiting list for a local direct primary care practice that I have received wonderful feedback about. We are in and set up now.

That information is from 2021 on this website, so not current. However, I found this article that is quite helpful.

That’s very interesting, I had never heard of DPC before. I have ChristianHealthcare so it’s kind of like catastrophic care, as you pay for all your Dr appointments, but like as if you’re a cash patient, so it’s cheaper. Then if you had a medical “incident” it would be $1000. Ea, which isn’t terrible, as it’s only about $265 per mo. If you have the time, could you explain this type further?

Thank you! I found 3 within 30 miles. Will keep these in mind. I see a functional medicine doctor but she is quite expensive. I would like to have a GP as alternative.

What do you do in the event you need hospitalization?

Expand full comment

Still can get hospitalization. Carry major medical insurance to cover that sort of thing, or procedures or specialists.

Most primary care docs no longer see their patients in hospital anyway, unfortunately. The sad rise of hospitalist physicians. Yet more fragmentation of true medical care.

Expand full comment

But that is going back to the first problem. You can't get "catastrophic" health coverage. I couldn't find anything available at a reasonable cost so it feels like I would still be paying high premiums AND concierge prices for a doctor that I barely see.

Expand full comment

Exactly as AL said. Obamacare changed that all out. Either you have insurance or you don’t. Used to be you could get catastrophic insurance really cheap, no longer

Expand full comment

Funny how they made sure that happened.

Only the Dems could name astronomically higher priced healthcare “Affordable Care” and get away with it; it’s Opposite Day with them EVERY day.

I think we’re long past the “Dem/Rep” game. They’re all bought and paid for. The rest is an illusion promoted to make you think that’s where the fight is. It’s not.

What happens if one of you needs something like an orthopedic surgery, or even a stent? Both can run over $100,000

Expand full comment

Still have to carry health insurance. Or use a cost-sharing program like Medishare.

Expand full comment

I don't know about other insurance, but using direct primary care does not preclude you from going to another doctor ie. an orthopedic doctor and using medicare with them.

Expand full comment

Tell me about it. A hemi hip replacement after a fall was an eye watering cost. Insurance and Medicare paid almost all, so I would have to be covered.

Hold up..PRIVATE health insurance? It's supposed to be unaffordable and out of reach of everyone, thus why we need obamacare.

We are giving https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/ a try. Low premiums, we cover basics. Max is capped so we self-insure the horriblest accidents. But it allows us 75% savings (invest the difference) for that ugly possibility. See who we want. Pay cash. Haven’t had a claim yet though.

Not all direct primary care is the same. I thought my mom’s was doing things for her best interest, but I got a little jaded after taking her to many appointments.

“The jury can find Trump “guilty” in a general sense without specifically defining the crime.”

I think the quote below aptly describes the Trump trial....

She imagined being raped by him, and the thought became the deed.

Expand full comment

As to health insurance and health care, it’s another example of usurpation of powers by the federal government. Eliminate the unconstitutional Department of Health and Human Services, all its subagencies, Medicare and Medicaid and give the power back to the states and the people where it rightly belongs. Health care costs would plummet like a Russian dissident falling out of a hotel window.

I cannot even read most of Jeff's wonderful blog today, because I feel my blood pressure going up about this whole Trump thing, and especially about the mere mention of despicable FJB, otherwise known as our current President.

My emotions are approaching sinful levels, so....

This is and will continue to backfire. I predict a Trump electoral landslide, if we can keep,the balloting legal.

Expand full comment

They’re running out of options to keep him out…what’s left? “Postponing” the election due to some catastrophic event or JFK-ing him? He’d better pick a VP that they’re just as afraid of as they are of him. It’s his only protection against option 2!

Yes, but he has never been a good man, even in younger days.

His past 50 years have been despicable. I don't care if he has dementia now, he has an evil past. Besides all this, others are obviously running the show behind him and we should worry about that.

He’s never held an honest job as far as I can tell. Ever.

I think his wife is awful to let him be abused this way, but he's still evil in my eyes. I hate what he has done to destroy this country and to destroy so many lives. On some level, I think he's willing to be used because he likes the power and prestige of being the so-called leader of the free world. He doesn't seem to care for people at all.

I still say this is all White Hat theater to wake up the normies who are reachable and also to enter into official court records information the NSA has but cannot use unless it becomes public record.

Biden isn’t doing anything.

The power is elsewhere. He’s just a symbol - a very feeble one.

Agree but he is also not a good person. "No one messes with a Biden", says it all. He isn't a mafia don, but those words which he said not very long ago, sound like he thinks he is.

Expand full comment

He's a disgusting human being and always has been. He has 50 years of non-achievement behind him, and all he has ever done is be a racist and block civil rights legislation. He has always been underestimated and has flown under the radar of most people. For the 2020 election, he was just a manipulable, useful idiot to those really running things. His increasing dementia was an advantage to them.

Hating a puppet makes no sense…. It’s ok to hate the evil agenda of the Puppeteer!

It must be taking an awful toll on him.

Even if he’s acquitted, the Dems have kept him tied to the court, hassled him terribly, put pressure on his health through the stress.

They play VERY dirty.

It took one crazy judge to convict him of that. Are there 12 crazy jurors that will do the same? Anything is possible in NYC. If that happens, my bet would be that it was set up from the start. Just another day in this crazy world we live in.

Like the one who accused Kavanaugh - with a load of baloney - proven lies - and said she’d been so-o traumatized by an “assault” decades ago, in a house she couldn’t identify, didn’t remember who was there or how she got home... Said she would fight on - blah blah - the minute she picked up her million $$$ no one heard from her again.

What a surprise.

Anyone who has been to Bergdorf Goodman knows that this entire story had to be made up.

@AngelaK I’ve said that from the beginning! You want me to believe a man as famous as Trump was, even back then, walks into the highest of high end stores in Manhattan, and no clerk was around to wait on him?

Remember that it's been a year since the FBI went after Ken Paxton. If you missed his interview with Tucker Carlson, watch it. He fought back and won, but it was an extremely hard road. Those who hate our constitution have always gone after those who love it. I'm reminded of Clarance Thomas who is an originalist and the lies that they perpetrated against him to try to stop his appointment to the Supreme Court. Make no mistake. Those who hate this country will lie, cheat, steal to destroy this country. They have no morals and no boundaries and they are a god unto themselves.

When we look hard at the decline, it's been going on for longer than we thought, but the decline is definitely picking up speed. People just didn't want to notice and kept pushing down the obvious that was happening right under our noses. My godmother repeatedly told me that her father left the Democrats during the Goldwater years. He was an attorney and high up in Democrat circles in Kentucky at that time. He told her that there had been drastic change in the Democrat party and he could no longer be a part of it. Apparently, he was never more specific than that. She would also tell me that schools changed with Dewey. She had an education degree and had graduated in the early 50's. It's always interesting to get perspective from a previous generation.

Correct. For example, the town council of Berkeley CA have been raving woke lunatics since at least 1989, 35 years ago.. This insanity did not happen in a few years, or even a few decades, so why do people think we can restore the Republic and sanity in a few years?
