[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 563972, member: 1514"] That is starting to happen down here with our new health care. Not getting political but because of what insurance, especially medicare and medicaid, will pay doctors they cannot afford to be in private practice at all. They have to join large corporations that are associated with hospitals so that the malpractice insurance is divided up between all the physicians working for the hospital. The whole "the more the merrier" adage because it is far cheaper that way. My long standing psychiatrist used to be a one man office and we all loved it that way but he simply couldnt afford to do it anymore. He was paying for a billing clerk, a receptionist, rent, himself and doing that all while taking medicare and medicaid patients along with those with regular insurance and self pay. Medicare and Medicaid are now only paying 10 bucks a visit if that. [/QUOTE]
