> Why isn't their broad-based support of it for medical care?

IMHO, it is because folks are overly deferential to medical doctors.

While a lot of the problems are actually caused by the insurance industry (a constantly changing billing code system) rather than the doctors themselves, I think folks are growing tired of being yanked around by the system.

This deference is decreasing based on my limited experience (i.e., just talking to people about their medical experiences), and it may drop precipitously soon. My guess is that most/all of the good doctors going to "concierge" will be the breaking point.
