Many believe this is how we ACTUALLY drive medical costs down. Its the third party payment model that has caused prices to go to exorbitant levels. By not being able to rely on insurance, and also not needing to deal with the insurance headaches, the office can post clear pricing for their services, AND keep those prices lower.
Yes, this. I work in "modern" medical and most of the stuff i use for health is more traditional, vitamins/herbs exercise, breathwork, meditation, etc.... I have to pay for most of that out of pocket anyways...
