Direct primary care cuts out insurance companies. Could it gain traction under Trump?

Direct primary care is an increasingly popular health care option. Patients at these clinics pay a fee of roughly $50 to $100 month and get easier, direct access to their doctor for routine care as often as they want for no extra cost. Experts say it may become more common under health policy changes that President Donald Trump’s administration is expected to pursue. But public health experts caution not to think of direct primary care as a replacement for insurance, because the monthly fee covers nothing beyond visits.
