Since locum physicians are temporary, it can cost a hospital a large sum to send these doctors on house visits if they are uncovered by the hospital's insurance for off-site visitations. Usually there is insurance involved, but the best option would be to call your physician's office or hospital of residence and ask whether or not they are able to complete house calls.

Why can't you pay cash for health care anymore as of 2013?

As far as I know, the majority of doctors and hospitals only take the co-payment in cash these days. It has been a long time since things were different: years ago, in the 1920s and 1930s, for example, people did pay cash for doctors' visits; it was very common in the era before health insurance was common in society. These days, however, most doctors have accepted the system of health insurers and health maintenance organizations. The one occasion when doctors do take money for services rendered is if a patient is uninsured-- some doctors expect uninsured patients to pay in cash. There are also a small number of doctors who find the current health care system too complex and have switched to requiring the patient to pay in cash. But these are the exceptions. For those who have insurance (whether from their job or self-pay), the doctors get their fees paid directly from the healthcare provider, while the patient handles any co-payment.
