3 patients this week have shared that they are giving up health insurance in January due to skyrocketing premiums. One 62 yo (with no serious illnesses) said that the cheapest she could find was $1800/month. Her plan: roll the dice without insurance until she's Medicare eligible.

This original research study highlights patients who saw their own family physician for after-hours care were 10% less likely to visit the ER within a week, suggesting that continuity of care may improve outcomes, reduce ER visits & lower health care costs.
