Physician Entrepreneurs Revolt Against ObamaCare
If they didn’t know it before, Americans are now gradually discovering that ObamaCare is not about health care; it’s about regulating the cost of health care and those who provide it.

doctors like Ryan Neuhofel of Lawrence, Kansas, are getting back to basics and practicing medicine the old-fashioned way, based on a fee-for-service model. No health insurance is involved, or even accepted, in “direct primary care.” Patients choose the services they need from an
online price list, pretty much the same way they choose their toppings on a pizza.
