so you pay 100$-200$ for what you also get at the urgent care for ~2x-3x less...i&#x27;m trying, but i just don&#x27;t get it - are they playing to the paranoid parent with a baby? People who want an hour wait at home instead of the <i>possible</i> 2 hour wait as a walk-in at the office? I really don&#x27;t understand where a thriving market would exist.<p>&gt; see in-home care as a way to reduce unnecessary ERs visits and readmissions<p>Sure. But so does regular check-ups&#x2F;physicals. In other news water is wet.<p>Instead of partnering with hospitals, partner with webMD - if someone is on there and embarrassed&#x2F;unsure they may schedule a discrete inhome visit rather than having to explain to the nurse why they need to see the doctor. I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s loads of money in amazon-esque single click service there.
