Massachusett's Universal Healthcare now paying for Doc in the Box Visits

So, the money losing universal healthcare sytem in Massachusetts has decided to pay for Medical Clinic Visits, or Doc in the Boxes.

Why? Because of the cost of going to a doctor is rising higher than Robbie Deans' reputation. Primary Care Physicians are driving rates, hospitals are driving rates, but nobody knows what the rates are, because no one will disclose them. Especially the insurers.

Rugby Players know better, since they take responsibility for their health care.

The Bumps, Bruises, and stitches required by Rugby players would be best serve at a Minor Emergency Center, Medical Clinic, or Doc-in-a-Box. We all know that we're going to play again next weekend, so why burden ourselves with a $600 ER visit. Need Beer money.

If you have a normal plan, the visit should be paid as a doctor visit, probably with a copay. If you're not sure, email me your plan name, and I'll figure that out for you.
