Concierge Medicine in Demand, Even in Difficult Times
Healthcare is a top priority for Americans, even in continually difficult economic times. With people all around the country cutting back on everything from eating out regularly to family vacations, it seemed only a matter of time before reductions on healthcare spending began. But that just isn’t so.
Take concierge medicine for example, an avenue within the healthcare industry in which you can find personalized, quality care. Concierge medicine has barely been touched by the recession.
Studies show that Americans value their high quality healthcare and are not eager to give up visits to their concierge doctor, even when money is tight. They see top healthcare as a necessity, not a luxury. And it’ll take more than hard times to change that.

Concierge Medicine and Carpetbaggers (Concierge Medicine Blog): "Few doctors would argue with the fact that it was the middleman — specifically the third-payers — who destroyed our medical system. Despite some good sales talk, these people did nothing to improve the quality of medical care that we delivered to our patients. To the contrary, they took a large portion of the healthcare dollar for their own profits and administrative fees, rationed care to our patients and robbed doctors in the process. These business folk came under the guise that they were here to 'do good,' to 'help us,' to create things like 'Health Maintenance Organizations' to prevent disease in our patients."
