(15,605 posts)19. How much of your workload has been because of the short visit times and the insurance hassles?
I used to work for a state organization that (supposedly) monitored healthcare throughout the system - patient, provider, insurer, hospital, payment. It was so frustrating trying to come up with consistent metrics when every commercial entity along they way fought disclosure.
Personally, I also thought something like "concierge" care might be useful but it never took off in my area and there were way too many unknowns.
Would "universal health care" solve many of these problems? No more insurance companies (except for very rich people), no prior authorizations, far less paperwork.
