There is a sort of separate non-system right now, called Direct Primary Care. It doesn't cover everything, but it's a start. Hospitals modeled on the Surgery Center of Oklahoma are around, too, so for scheduled, standard surgeries there are high-quality, low-cost alternatives. We do need to rein in or replace or create parallels for licensing boards and for certification boards, though.
"Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model improving access to high functioning healthcare with a simple, flat, affordable membership fee. No fee-for-service payments. No third party billing. The defining element of DPC is an enduring and trusting relationship between a patient and his or her primary care provider. Patients have extraordinary access to a physician of their choice, often for as little as $70 per month, and physicians are accountable first and foremost their patients. DPC is embraced by health policymakers on the left and right and creates happy patients and happy doctors all over the country!"

The half owner / founder of Surgery Center of Oklahoma is a long-time personal friend of mine. Good doctor. Serious about freedom.
Please let him know that so many people very much appreciate what he and his partner have done! I admire them greatly.
Sadly, some DPC docs pushed the jabs.
One here in our town even pushed for pregnant women.
Some are probably in it only because it decreases papework and hence the need for specialized staff to do coding and file insurance claims.
