Local friends, you are cordially invited to the inaugural event of the Idaho Free Market Medical Association. For over ten years the Free Market Medical Association has fought tirelessly for transparency in healthcare, a legacy we are proud to carry forward in the Idaho Chapter. Speakers include Dr. Rodney Story from Story Family Medicine, Shawn Needham from Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy and Matthew Ohrt from Self Fund Health.

This event is for anyone who cares about the out-of-control cost of healthcare in America and the growing free market response to the crony capitalism that got us here. Come and learn what individuals, communities, healthcare sharing ministries, and small business owners can do to regain autonomy in healthcare purchasing decisions.

When: This Friday (tonight) June 12th, 6:00-9:00 PM
Where: The 1912 Center in Moscow, Idaho
What: Cocktails catered by Neat Whiskey Bar, appetizers catered by Thresh, and three fantastic talks + Q&A
Cost: $5 registration fee. (Includes two drink tickets)

How Self Funded Healthcare & Direct Primary Care can transform benefits plans

It’s no secret that a lot of non-profits in the medical space have a terrible reputation.

So what a breath of fresh air it is when you encounter the opposite. Having just gotten back from a board meeting a few days ago, I’m struck by the level of integrity, faithfulness, and professionalism of Samaritan Ministries. I’m grateful for the work of everyone there, and grateful to be a part of that work.

“Their world-view constantly conflates morality and evidence— paralyzing real progress.”

The medical establishment is rapidly losing sight of what it means to pursue evidence based care. We're prioritizing moral gestures and excitedly pursuing the latest and greatest technology all at the expense of truly effective care and prevention. The response to Covid highlighted this but that wasn't the start.

It's time to stop being swayed by political winds and social activism and get back to practicing good medicine. Take the time to thoughtfully consider the evidence and don't be afraid to question tradition and custom or say unpopular things for the good of our patients!

A new generation of physicians has forgotten it in the quest to be 'rising stars'.

Patients are simply a vehicle to deliver the insurance card that will be treated during that visit.
-Jay Kempton, HCAA 2023

It’s time to return patients to the center of healthcare as the informed consumers and not as simple pawns of the insurance companies

The tangled web of government loopholes, tax breaks and insurance companies, goes back almost a century now. This unjust system continues to severely limit freedom of choice and patient autonomy in choosing insurance coverage and obtaining care!
