Say goodbye to family practice

  Why? 
  Because just about every focus of the left is pushing people toward large groups: traveling in groups, living in groups, working in groups, now going to the doctor in groups. 
  Now the truth comes out that Obamacare is pushing to rid the health care system of family practices. 
  You know, the kind you raised your kids in. And toward what? Hospitals. Large practices where the elderly can sit with 40 squalling babies, waiting in line for the next expressionless unionized government employee to punch your name into the computer, her fake plastic fingernails clicking against the keys.
  Read over at Washington Times:
As a result of Obamacare, fewer physicians will work in the familiar two- to five-person small-group practices most Americans prefer. Instead, doctors will be increasingly driven into large, impersonal "accountable care organizations" - not to take better care of their patients, but simply to survive economically. This consolidation is not some "unintended consequence," but rather an explicit goal, as White House health adviser Nancy-Ann DeParleacknowledged when praising Obamacare for encouraging "vertical organization of providers" and "physician employment by hospitals and aggregation into larger physician groups."
  This is in addition to the over 100 hospitals who have been curtailed or closed because of Obamacare.
