Sean Hannity’s Realistic Healthcare Solutions Include Atlas MD-Style Direct Care

On March 25, 2010, President Barack Obama said, “From this day forward, all of the cynics, all the naysayers — they’re going to have to confront the reality of what this reform is and what it isn’t. They’ll have to finally acknowledge this isn’t a government takeover of our healthcare system. They’ll see that if Americans like their doctor, they’ll be keeping their doctor. You like your plan? You’ll be keeping your plan. No one is taking that away from you.”

Unfortunately, Obama’s PREDICTION is not the REALITY. And it’s not just our opinion, but Sean Hannity’s too, that maybe we should put less emphasis on “the plan” and in turn, less emphasis on government. Hannity is even going so far as to cite our direct care model in his vision of an American healthcare solution.

STREAM: Atlas MD on The Sean Hannity Show

In case you missed it, we were invited back as guests on The Sean Hannity Show last Friday. We’re honored to be recognized as a solution to an overwhelming healthcare debacle. Afterwards, we were flooded with emails from people interested in learning more about our model and where they can find a direct care clinic in their own community.

As we mentioned on the program, you can visit IWantDirectCare.com to express your interest in joining a direct care clinic, or, if you’re a direct care doctor, where your clinic is located. And wouldn’t you know, the map’s filling up fast! We think this disproves a direct care criticism, that healthy people subscribing to a direct clinic is like paying for an unused gym membership. We’re wondering, where do these arguments originate? Our patients constantly praise the services we provide and our accessibility. And the question we keep hearing from people who first come across our business is, Where can I find my own direct care doctor? We’re hoping that within the next few years, patients can find direct care almost anywhere. Really, it’s up to the doctors to meet the demand and interest that’s growing as we speak.

As always, thanks to everyone who tuned in to The Sean Hannity Show on Friday, and to those who spread the word on social media. It may not seem like much, but every patient who demands affordable primary care makes direct care more viable for the doctors who want to provide it.

Stream Dr. Josh’s Recent Radio Appearance On Hannity

If you were tuned in to Hannity’s radio program yesterday you might have heard Dr. Josh talking about direct care. The entire taping includes dialogue with Pat Buchanan, Dr. and Congressman Phil Roe, and Congressman Louis Gohmert. Dr. Josh was given the floor to fully outline why direct care MAKES SENSE. Anyone questioning the business side of running a “cash-only” clinic should pay close attention here. Josh takes a solid ten minutes to explain almost EVERY benefit that this model brings to healthcare, including the doctors enjoying their work, the patients receiving improved treatment, and insurance companies finding that direct care patients are at lower risk for chronic conditions (which allows for lower premiums which in turn can attract more subscribers.)
