I seems that the powers that be are hell bent on driving private practice out of existence. AAFP states they are concerned about the burnout rate, which is mostly due to the added burden of PCMH and meaningful use requirments.

I, for one, have been called a "whiner and complainer," and worse by administrators.<br /><br />On the other hand, as noted above, many physicians call adminstrators clueless, greedy, uncaring, and sometimes dishonest or criminal.
