Description
As the cost of health care approximates 20% of the GDP it has become more and more obvious that the present system is unsustainable. As a result the Federal Government and the individual States are looking at many different methods of providing cost effective care. The end result is that health care providers need to be aware of State and Federal regulations. Fortunately the situation is still fluid and the regulations can still be influenced by physicians willing become involved in the political process.
