Tells me that no one needs a 50K computer system to perform medicine in today's market. But, again, that is a red herring! If it is necessary to group together to reduce such costs, then that is what it takes. However, $35 a visit would give you about $400 a day, at best, as income, not profit. Assume the usual cost of shared staff, supplies, insurance, etc., that is about $200/day. Thus, < $60k a year. Respectable, but not nearly enough to pay off those medical school loans.

So, get real. It is one thing to say that you are not getting all the money in the heathcare system, and another to say that it can be "affordable" by simply negotiating with one's local physician. This is a fool's debate. Let's get back to reality.
