Myths, Ethics and Concierge Medicine
Yes, it is an outstanding defense of concierge medicine. Although I'm not a doctor, I'm tempted to say that any doctor not practicing concierge medicine is acting unethically: working for a health plan or the state instead of his patient.
How many doctors complain about health plans, versus how many actually do anything about it, other than hoping that their guilds in DC and state capitals are lobbying for regulations that favor them and oppose health plans? It's a zero-sum game.
Concierge medicine restores the doctor-patient relationship.

It's a far superior model to our current system, and can be easily modified so that charity care can still be provided for the poor without Medicaid.
