She’s Sharing How Her Pediatrician In Manhattan Is Now Charging An Annual Fee Of $350 Per Child, Which Means She’s Going To Have To Pay $1,000 Every Time She Wants To Take Her Kids To The Doctor

“This is becoming more and more common all over the US! I’m in Florida, and I see it all the time,” someone else chimed in.

Apparently, the act of adding an annual fee to the already high costs of healthcare is part of something called concierge medicine.

A concierge medicine model is a form of healthcare that provides patients comprehensive care. There are a lot more perks, such as home visits and convenient 24/7 access to a physician.

The price you pay depends on your primary care physician and where you’re located. Doctors are choosing to turn to concierge medicine because of the difficulties of dealing with insurance companies.

Whatever the reason for the changes, it’s forcing the average American to face major challenges just to obtain necessary services.

The frustrations regarding the healthcare system in America are being felt nationwide, and only one thing’s for sure. The United States healthcare system is broken.
