I have Kaiser, and for a low co-pay (affordable) I could go in constantly, but I don’t. I realize there are hypochondriacs out there, but I don’t know if that would be a major problem.

You’re more optimistic than I am. It would probably take some time to see an increase. Not so much a true hypochondriac but the average person. Say you get 100,000 patients a day (nationwide) at 100 dollars of billing each. That’s 10,000,000 dollars a day. After 365 days it balloons to 3,650,000,000 dollars. Rough guess on my part. Even if it’s halved that’s over a billion dollars a year.

I don’t know maybe 100,000 per day is a stretch.
