I love the way this "reporter" tries to spin another disastrous result of Obamacare as a positive! Oh yay, no more private physician visits! I get to have group appts! And my co-pay doesn't even go up!
The comments after the article are great.

How does this comply with HIPPA?

How will they know if the Doc changed gloves after each patient during a group rectal exam?

This crazy piece of spin won’t survive contact with HIPAA.

Don’t they do this in Massachusetts? They all meet in a group and swear not to divulge information about one another?

In my induction physical for the Navy in 1979, the doctor wore the same gloves for examining 8 scrotums and 8 rectums (but in his defense, he didn’t “break the plane”).

Let's put it on tv in a reality show format.
Somebody get Ryan Seacrest on the line...

Obama said that he believed that reducing doctor’s pay would cause them to be more “productive”. He was speaking the truth (oddly enough); too bad few people realized what doctor “productivity” means for patients.

Under Obamacare bureaucrats control the flow of your information.

How does this comply with HIPPA?”
Some mental health practitioners already do this. It’s called group therapy.
Re HIPAA, IMO this is another ridiculous set of govt regs which should also be abolished and certainly should have been seen as a precursor to Obamacare.
In spite of this, I can envision, for instance, the 2nd Tuesday of every month being mammogram day for those living within a certain ZIP code. All the ladies line up, bare breasted and someone in a TSA uniform at the front of the line yells next, puts each boob in the slammer, hits a button and it’s done. Or air travelers being informed that their full body scan will be sent off to the nearest lab for analysis and determination of any possible medical condition.

For example, in a diabetes group visit, a doctor might ask everyone to remove their shoes so he can examine their feet for sores or signs of infection, among other things. A typical session lasts up to two hours. In addition to answering questions and examining patients, the doctor often leads a discussion, often assisted by a nurse.
This can easily spiral into nightmare territory. Anyone else remember that old television commercial "Sometimes you get an itch so private you can only talk to your doctor about it"?

Of course, the rich will be able to afford the fee for a private appointment! It’ll be everyone else who is herded in and out like cattle!
Obamacare = Disaster for anyone who is not rich.
