$20 Doctor

No, this isn’t an ad for Jiffy Lube, but for the Dr. Arani Medical Clinic, home of the $20 MD visit. The Dr. Arani Medical Clinic is the fruition of a dream Dr. Arani had to provide cheap medical care to those most in need. With most average ER visits hovering around 3.2 hours and costing upwards of $90-$150, to be seen within 15 minutes and for 20 bones is something people toting even the best health insurance can’t claim. Not only that, they don’t even accept patients that have private health care insurance in an effort to minimize wait times for non-insured walk ins as much as possible. The downside… the clinic is in Los Angles so only a limited group of people can enjoy the benefits but with free parking available in the rear (how many places in LA can claim to have FREE parking), you might be able to drive across the country and still end up with a cheaper overall bill.

I wonder how precise the diagnoses are, and if you quality care. This could catch on, but I doubt it with the high cost of medical Im “sure” it pushes the demand up, thefore raising the prices. *rolling eyes*

How do these health care professionals make a living? If they’re anything like most docs, then they probably dont know what they’re doing anyway. Oops did i say that?

For totally broke, non-insured people possibly straddled with 3 or more sick kids, I could see this working if the office moves them through fast enough to make a profit.
I am insured very well, but if I had something minor like needing a tetnus shot this would be useable.
