It's nice that he can run a one person show. It might be more variety of work but dealing with insurance paperwork sounds like a second job in itself.

I think if more primary care physicians can go back to a no insurance, flat-fee model and insurance is saved for urgent, emergency, specialized and long term care then Americans can live healthier and save money (neither of which is good in the eyes of for-profit healthcare and insurance), doctors and general practitioners will actually do what they enjoy and all around increase the efficiency of healthcare in the US.

It certainly is. They have to hire an office manager to handle all of it. Which raises their rates, which raises the insurance cost to us.
