minus-squareCrashumbc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-22 days agoYeah the EMR and data driven quality requirements of Obamacare made it almost impossible for a single doctor practice. The costs are just too high. Add in hospitals wanting a feeder network of patients that can be directed to “their” hospital. And you have hospitals gobbling up every practice they could in the 2010s.
