#1 Dinosaur: “Right now the idea of a cash only practice — be it fee-for-service or prepaid; so-called retainer medicine — is just beginning to take hold. I think it is a good idea, and I do believe I will move to it sooner or later. I also believe that many other physicians will come to the same conclusion and take the same action. I see the insurance companies’ gradual demise, bleeding from a thousand tiny wounds as each of us divests ourselves of our servitude to them.”
