As much as I've been a fan of this idea because of the people that over use especially in the emergency room where Johnny has a boo boo.
I tend to believe that this will chase lower income people away from visiting their doctor because its an un-budgeted expense.
Some people if they have to choose between a $20.00 visitation fee and putting gas in their car so they can go to work are going to choose the latter.
