Your Car Insurance Now Pays For Your Gas! (An Exercise in Absurdity)
Appropriated Press: Officials in Washington have confirmed that car insurance companies will now be required to pay for gas. "Transportation is a fundamental right of all Americans. Therefore gas is a fundamental right of all Americans," said one congressman. Consumer groups are split on the issue. Some embrace the savings to American families, others see the ghastly (gassly?) auto insurance premium hikes coming down the pike, and they are also aghast (agassed?) at the new Federal mandate coming in 2017.

What is Direct Primary Care? (Part 3 of 3)

What do I mean by “access?” Put simply, it’s how patients engage their primary care provider in order to get a question answered, or to be seen for a medical problem during business hours, or to be seen for an acute problem after business hours or on holidays or weekends. If all things were equal, and you had ideal access to primary care, what would it look like?
What is Direct Primary Care? And What Are the Benefits?
I am Patrick Rohal, M.D., a family doctor and the founder of CovenantMD, Lancaster’s first Direct Primary Care practice, which will be opening in January, 2016. I launched my website (www.covenantmd.net) on Tuesday, and posted announcements on Facebook and LinkedIn. That made Tuesday a wonderful flurry of exchanging digital "high fives" with friends and collaborators, and answering questions with prospective patients.
