The Direct Care Movement

Hosted by Dr. Demetrio J. Aguila III

Welcome to our podcast, where we explore the transformative world of free market medicine and direct care. Each episode reveals how these patient care models are making healthcare more affordable, accessible, and transparent. Discover how free market and direct care shift away from conventional practices, empowering patients to make their own decisions and giving doctors the freedom to provide personalized care without middlemen.

From direct surgical practices with house calls to navigating insurance barriers in sports medicine, we showcase how these models enable physicians to follow their passions and achieve remarkable results. We also discuss the freedom of direct primary care and its role in fostering innovative multispecialty collaborations.
