Have we reached the tipping point in Health Care Reform?

Just maybe! This interesting article from "The Medicaid Front Page", makes the case. Time will tell!

Who am I?

David A. Lynch, M.D.
Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington State, United States
I am currently a Principal at Transformation Medical Consulting, which I founded after my retirement from Family Care Network. This allows me to work with innovative medical groups and insurance companies who strive to align excellent patient care with the payment strategies necessary to sustain it. My focus is on primary care, which when properly facilitated, can have a profound and beneficial affect on the quality, value and care experience of our patients, and on the satisfaction of those who provide that care. I graduated from Holy Cross with a political science degree, where I got my interest in public policy, followed by a masters degree in biology from Syracuse University, medical school at the SUNY Upstate Medical Center and residency at the University of Washington residency program, Family Medicine Spokane. http://www.twitter.com/DrDaveLynch
