The circumstances under which America's physicians will do their jobs will change more in the next decade than they have in the past 50 years. The Physicians Foundation, based in Boston, has identified some of the most pressing issues facing U.S. doctors-the uncertainty over the Affordable Care Act, where the nation will find the capacity to treat millions of newly insured patients, the continuously expanding administrative burden, the industry's relentless consolidation to gain market leverage and the forces nibbling away at practice autonomy. The book explores these issues in-depth. Veteran health journalist Steve Jacob draws on dozens of interviews and more than 500 published sources to cover these issues and describe how the landscape is changing for doctors.
