While we were on vacation in Florida a few weeks back, our hosts were informed that their Internist was closing up shop at the end of May.
When we got home a few weeks later, a letter was waiting for us from our GP. He's giving up his practice the end of this year.
Just a couple of examples. Probably not scientific, but I'm sure there's lot of similar stories out there.
The emergency rooms will be cleared out of those not having health insurance to be replaced by those who can't find a family practice doctor.
