Super doc and real health reform

A large array of social, economic, and professional issues will have to be confronted and resolved before primary care physicians can take their logical place as leaders in the health care delivery system. Linkages will have to be forged between primary care physicians and specialists and between primary care physicians and nonphysician providers of primary care. Key to successful resolution of the current dilemma is ensuring that primary care physicians are compensated at a fair level for their skills. It is the disparity in physician incomes that lies at the heart of the problem, according to the author.
