Check this out: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/mar/23/countys-entire-medical-landscape-will-have-deal-ch/ A very big consequence of this legislation is that fees will be shifted to take money away from specialists and give it to primary care doctors - a big disincentive to become a specialist. More doctors are going to drop out of insurance programs altogether and just offer private pay, or just leave the profession altogether. Get ready for a massive shortage of doctors to add to the massive shortage of nurses. I also predict a wave of hospital and clinic closings as the reforms run them out of profitability. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
