The Wedge of Health Freedom will put patients and doctors back together — and set them free.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), more than 132,000 pages of Medicare regulations and onerous contractual requirements from corporate health plans have intruded in the confidential patient-doctor relationship — and caused health care costs to skyrocket.
But around the country, pockets of doctors and patients are breaking free. The Wedge of Health Freedom will point the way to this exciting escape route. With high deductible insurance policies and health care sharing organizations on the rise under the Affordable Care Act, patients want doctor’s offices that are affordable, patient-centered, and confidential—and doctors want to start them. Doctors using “Wedge Principles” work for patients—not the government or a health plan.
Today, these pockets of health freedom — affordable third-party-free practices and surgical centers — are not visible to most Americans. The Wedge of Health Freedom will draw the public’s attention to these practices, make them a visible attractive choice for patients nationwide, defend their legal right to practice freely, and grow The WEDGE so large that health freedom can never be taken away:
The WEDGE Principles
- Transparent, Affordable Pricing
- Freedom to Choose
- True Patient Privacy
- No Government Reporting
- No Outside Interference
- Cash-Based Pricing
- Protected Patient-Doctor Relationship
- All Patients Welcome
WEDGE practices follow these eight principles. All patients, insured or uninsured, are welcome. Payment is by cash, check or charge. Imagine a practice where your doctor, dentist or other health care practitioner really knows you. Imagine a practice that doesn’t demand your insurance card and ID before the staff even say hello. WEDGE Practices and their doctors are the way back to the future! A future where patients and doctors are free, prices are affordable and care is confidential – just between you and the doctor.
Join The WEDGE to escape the restrictions and intrusions of managed care, Obamacare and Medicare —and find health freedom!
