primary physician :: Article Creator Primary Care In Crisis: A Physician's Take On Reform Source: Imtmphoto/Shutterstock This blog reviews how the role of primary care practice has diminished greatly over the past 40 years.

Kennedy Jr. Has been Health and Human Services secretary for little more than a week, but he's already pressing what looks like an anti-vaccine agenda. Kennedy never did disavow his vaccine views in the runup to Senate confirmation. He merely said he wouldn't take away anyone's vaccines.

No matter what courts do to the Affordable Care Act, "payers are highly motivated to get their patients screened," Conroy told the analysts.
