Corp. of General Practitioners? based upon the organizational model of the US Postal Service? Anyone who was a US Citizen or Legal Resident Alien would be able to enroll with a GP who would provide them with General care. The General Practitioners would receive a government salary of $100,000 per year and would receive malpractice coverage through the Federal Government, as well as proportional student loan repayment assistance based on years of service (Compared to what most General Practitioners make this would be rather generous and would allow the government to attract the best and brightest). Service Corp General Practitioners would be responsible for handling all Medicaid patients as well as any US Citizen that wished to enroll. This system would NOT replace the existing care system in the country, but would bypass the private insurance industry completely. The Service Corp model would be intended to provide a more organized system of care than the current mish-mash of State and Federal agencies that try to provide reduced cost and Pro-Bono care. This type of system would also lead to massive reductions in Medicare fraud.
