I would imagine that there are Drs with small practices..... You called it right. Now you understand why this massive opposition to O'care. O'care does two things, it increases the bargaining power of group insurers because more folks are now covered. And it forces the doctors to cut down their costs due to opulence of their offices, a large staff etc. It also forces the hospitals to cut down on costs of the fat pays of CEO's and other spurious staff. I have several doctors. My eye doctor is highly automated, has a very small staff. Even reminders are sent by text messages, not some human calling a phone and leaving a VM. His costs are low. But my cardiologist, is still all manual, has to rent space to hang all his files and a human to sort out and pull out the files. And you can imagine what his costs are. O'care will force such doctors to automate or else the free market forces will require him to abandon his practice. So all this opposition to O'Care by the Republicans is a big baloney for those Americans who care to go and dig deeper.
