It’s amazing what the free market can do:
Patients will no longer have to wait a month to see a doctor for an urgent sore throat, wait all day for a doctor to return their call or leave work midday and drive a long distance for a routine appointment. Instead, patients will log on to their computers and find themselves face-to-face with physicians over Webcam.
They also have electronic medical records and malpractice insurance. Medicare patients need not apply.
