    How do you see the medical (healthcare) home helping with this problem of dwindling PCPs? I enjoy your observations of a "procedure-focused" fragmentation of care.

    Since our health care system is built around profits for providers and not patient-centered care (even though individual clinicians try to make it so), the dis-integration of our health care system seems inevitable. Let's hope something good grows up through the cracks

    I wonder what you would have done if you wanted to use an HSA to pay - a debit card is the payment tool most often provided by an HSA's administrator. It's also disheartening to think that if a healthcare provider can't or is unwilling to implement a 20$ piece of equipment (card reader) to create efficiencies, is there any hope for greater EHR adoption?

    Among the several good points Dr Val makes; Universal Coverage promises do not address dwindling primary care availibility.
    The links provided detail this well

    I'm not sure that removing the 'profit' will resolve the provider shortage.

    i can't help thinking it's awesome that there has been such long lines all over... people taking a greater interest in public issues is always a good thing
