It’s 2026, and DPC is the Fix! Maybe.

Posted on by

I’ve been doing this blog for years now. I have seen it grow because Direct Primary Care is growing. News pieces, articles, Mark Cuban, the government, and every other third-party involved in healthcare are extremely curious. The question is whether they are looking at DPC to be part of the solution or looking at DPC to capitalize on it financially.

Thank you all for reading this blog as we point out our thoughts. There are a lot of us here at DPC News with all sorts of experience and opinions. We hope you continue to follow along and feel free to share your thoughts as well.

Personally I believe this is the equation to fix healthcare from the ground up:

It wouldn’t happen overnight. It has to start slow and then grow organically. People would shop around for better prices and for DPC doctors who would work well with them. More medical students would then want to be DPC doctors because of the independence and joy of practicing medicine the way it was meant to be done. And maybe, just maybe, there would be more medical schools and residencies to meet this demand.

Happy New Year!
