JoshMD, I hear there are cash-only clinics that operate in Canada in spite of the law, so I doubt running one in the U.S. would be a problem, even under Obama.

As for the idea that many poorly paid and stressed staff - who let's not forget chose to care in the first place - suddenly lose their caring priority by dint of joining a union - well what do you think? And I doubt even you would outlaw the right to collective representation.

Do you think he could force CMS on primary care? I will be starting my insurance free, cash only, concierge clinic in 18 months and it could be problematic if he did.
