Turning Doctors into Patients' Enemy

摘要

In years past, you could count on an independent physician to look out for patients inside and outside of the hospital. Times change and, today, things are quite different, according to Lawrence R. Huntoon, editor-in-chief of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons and a board-certified neurologist who runs a third-party free practice in Derby, N.Y. Thanks to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obama-Care), independent physicians are being squeezed out and, in some cases, deliberately driven out of business nationwide, charges Huntoon.
