I'm just short of 50 and never experienced house calls but i do know they used to be the normal way to see you doctor up until the i think the 60's? Would there be anything standing in the way of doctors doing house calls outside of the scam we call insurance?

I remember house calls from our family doctor in the '50s. Doc had a black back with instruments and some meds. My sibs and I had Chickenpox and Measles (among other things) handled that way.
Yes, house calls were real and not terribly expensive (so I've read, and my father's reaction to the bills would seem to back that up).
