It will be interesting to see if people are willing to pay for extra, personalized information with so much freely available on the web.

I’m also curious how personal the answers will be. If the incentive for physicians is to crank out as many answers as possible, I’m afraid this will suffer from the same problems that fee-for-service creates for live doctor visits (ie not enough time).

That said, I think there is clearly something here and am a big fan of HealthTap’s mission.
