Econtalk Review

I never really thought of doctors going into the entrepreneur industry. Hospitals and doctors offices have been the same since I was a kid, so I just never thought of change for them or making them better honestly. I found the most interesting part that he doesn't take insurance. Insurance is so important in the medical world. I mean I had pills that would cost only god knows how much, but they were .09 cents due to insurance. It was a very bold idea of him to do it this way. It could definitely help the people who don't have insurance, but the people who do have it probably wouldn't even think twice about trying this. One part of what he did that I really liked though was that he posts his prices online. I feel like this helps with the no insurance policy he does. People will want to know the price, especially if they can't use their insurance. I really liked this one, because I feel like this one was really very different from the others. People use doctors offices or hospitals everyday and most of the time people don't know when to use them. This is a way that if people were in need really fast it could help them be able to see the prices and know the best options faster. I respect an entrepreneurial idea, but I personally didn't like this one. I get he saw something he thought could be better, and he decided to try and change that. I just see doctors offices and hospitals as something that is cemented and will never change. I am not saying I hate his idea, but once again this goes back to people. I feel like no one would try this, and I personally don't think I ever would either. Also the whole thing may seem sketchy to many people. Another thing is I would say most doctors offices or hospitals 2 biggest customers would be children or old people. Old people never try anything new and most of them would be way too scared to go into this type of hospital or doctors office. I also feel they would be definitely not pay without insurance, and also probably aren't the est on the internet. So old people using it in my opinion is completely out of the question. Now to the kids. I don't know many parents who wouldn't just take their kids to normal doctors office or hospital like they were taken to when they were younger. Like I said doctors offices are so cemented and consistently the same that I see people just being way to skeptical or scared to even try this idea out. This is all just my opinion though. Some of the nest ideas are things that no one believe in or see coming. I respect his idea and his commitment to doing what he thinks he can to fix these, but this is just never a thing I saw being changed or even attempted to be changed for better. I just don't see many people using this at all.
