In theory it could be a good solution. However:
Healthcare is a business just like any other. How will the doctors make their money if there is up to a 30% reduction in medical fees? Medical services is time based and the best doctors will probably want to spend their time on higher paying customers? Is there not also a risk to miss-diagnose if a patient is at a remote location? Many times doctors have to see you, touch or examine closely to do a diagnosis.
