This is happening as a result of Obamama care. The doctors are limiting their practice by numbers and actually turning it into a private club. Not a lot of doctors are doing it, but just enough to fill the need. Obamacare is seriously changing the way normal is in the medical field and this is a way for some doctors to escape the government mandates. I actually don't blame them. Part of the collective practice I go to went to concierge medicine but most of the doctors opted out, so there is something for everyone.
I work for a huge global company so our insurance will likely stay very good, very inexpensive and very competitive, but if that changes over time, we will likely consider a concierge plan. 4951
