Alternative Model for Paying for Medical Care?

An interesting article on NPR about a health clinic in Maine that is trying out a different method of paying for health services:

Deb Barth is raking leaves for Lesley Jones. But Barth isn't earning money for her yardwork, at least not in physical currency. She's earning "time dollars" — for every two hours she spends doing odd jobs, she'll earn a free visit with her doctor.


The Bay Area is filled with a number of close-knit, dedicated communities.
Could this innovate method of paying for health services work here as well?
