Social Consequences Physician Employees/Subcontractors Conflicts of Interest Decline in Access to Care Decline in Quality of Care Loss of Physician Autonomy Erosion of the profession of Medicine Dispirited Physicians

Discussion Questions Will fewer US students be attracted to medicine as a career? Will quality of medical students be lower? Will most physicians work as employees for private care corporations on a salary basis? Will routine procedures that physicians perform be taken over by nurse practitioners and allied health care workers?

Discussion Questions Are physicians likely to be subjected to more stringent cost containment efforts? Will doctors join unions? How will these changes effect doctor-patient relations? Will there be increased competition for patients by health care organizations and groups of physicians?

Discussion Questions How will these changes affect the ability of professional medical organizations to represent and lobby for physicians? Will increased corporate control and consolidation of health care reduce the autonomy and influence of community boards and local groups of physicians?
