How reimbursement woes hurts patient

Here’s a real-life example:

If you pay the front-line doctors they will take on the patients who will then have a place to go when they are sick, which will dis-impact the ERs of the country, encourage doctors to practice in rural areas, help stop disease processes before they get to the stage of needing intervention and decrease the number of hospitalizations.

The entrance into the health care system needs to be the local, personal, patient physician. Let them be the gatekeepers, but make then WANT the job by paying them.

Is there any other business where the owner says: “I charge $1.00″³ but they are only paid 3 cents?
