I pay $25 to $30 per hour to housekeepers. I question the sanity of a doctor charging $135 per month for multiple people.

He’s solidly middle class. Not pulling in tons of money. But he doesn’t have crazy stress either. He doesn’t do insurance or Medicare, so his overhead and admin cost are really low.
Typical panel size is ~1200 patients. So to get $300k/year that’s $20.8/person/month.

That’s a good point. I’ll have to ask some friends about overhead. Seems like a weirdly small number though compared to insurance premiums + deductibles, and what doctors usually get per visit when we go for run of the mill fevers for the kids (~$150+ each time).
