Another great solution is called Simple Care (simplecare.com). Met Dr. Cherewatenko a few years ago, and hoping he helps spread this idea.

Marvelous little lecture! This would be a great link for anyone discussing public healthcare.

A sound concept.

I’m a canadian and I try to explain why we don’t need social medicine, and that the free market is better. The response is alway a sarcastic “Oh you mean like the US? That’ll be just dandy!” I’m glad to have resources like this to point out US healthcare isn’t flawed because of problems with capitalism.

I should mention my primary physician is cash-only. He is very much off the beaten path, both in location and methodologies, but I like and respect him a lot. He does basic conventional medicine (he even gave me antibiotics once over my objection and insisted I take them!), accupuncture (cured my stomach acid problem) and homeopathy (zapped my insomnia). I never wait more than a few minutes in his waiting room.

I can’t stomach visiting anyone mainstream anymore. I am not a billing reimbursement unit. I am a human being. (That said, my marriage counselor recently started taking insurance and I have to admit loving the $20 co-pay instead of $140 cash pay….ach, corrupted am I….)

My physician is also an opt-out provider and an integrative medicine practitioner.
There is a group in St. Louis, MO called the Saint Louis Institute of Integrative Medicine that shares the alternative care message with doctors and patients. See http://www.sliim.org
An annual symposium is to be held on November 5, 2011.
The SLIIM website provides information about goals, symposium topics, and also a list of participating physicians in the St. Louis area.
As a patient, I look forward to this educational event in the same way I look forward to the daily informational opportunities here at LVMI.
I also look forward to sharing a lot about LVMI with SLIIM members and attendees.
