Easy to say if you don't get any of your payments from the government, reality is that the penalty for not complying goes up exponentially each year until the Doctor is forced out of practice or into employment with a large provider. So if you are an older Doctor you are pretty well screwed as are the patients.
Absolutely. I see why there has been a surge in concierge care. If I were a doctor...I would do the same. Sad for all of us, though.
