minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink13•3 days agoAgree with your comment. Most medical practices are OWNED by a hospital system.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-22 days agoYeah the EMR and data driven quality requirements of Obamacare made it almost impossible for a single doctor practice. The costs are just too high. Add in hospitals wanting a feeder network of patients that can be directed to “their” hospital. And you have hospitals gobbling up every practice they could in the 2010s. arrow-up16file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
