Sean Hannity is referring to a company, Atlas MD, in Wichita, Kansas, which should be a model for the types of coverage which will come by the Republicans’ healthcare bill, in the Atlas model a monthly fee paid ($10 per month for kids up to $100 per month for old people) to obtain check-ups, some simple procedures, wholesale drug prices, and direct line to your doctor. The secret to the success of Atlas they say is that their doctors only handle hundreds of patients whereas in some family practices each doctor has thousands, plus with the stable fees they’re incentivized to help keep you healthy by sound advice and effective low cost treatments. With the simple coverage provided by such as Atlas of course would come catastrophic coverage provided by insurance companies, the premiums for which will be lower because more competition would be fostered in the Republicans’ bill.
