Summary
House calls are not likely to expand to subspecialties, except in circumstances where a followup visit is required, and the primary doctor recommends specialized care. One exception might be expanding the scope of house calls to cover all non-emergent care for the elderly who can afford an in-house evaluation for routine complaints. While certain house call practices might thrive in metropolitan areas, the scope of such practices will be limited in the big picture.
Analysis
I agree with the report that the current health care system does not work adequately, and certainly comes up short in the areas of convenience and catering to the individual needs of patients. Those who can afford in house calls will find it quite pleasant to have the doctor come to their door to provide private health care. There will always be a niche segment that will benefit from this service.
