I help my mother in law to make appointment for ENT following up today. The soonest appointment date is 11/10/2016. Except insurance issue, the shortage of health care providers is another crucial issue in America. " There will be a shortage of 12500 to 31100 primary care physicians, 5100 to 12,300 medical specialists, 23100 to 31600 surgical specialists, 2400 to 20,200 other specialists by 2025" (Smith, 2016). If we do not resolve this problem, we would not be able to see a physician, even you have a good insurance or have money.

    This includes the changes in treatment efficiency and how it limits the number of covered patient visits. This text will be used as evidence to prove the effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) because of the survey given to PTs and the interviews that followed it.

The interviews will show the reality that even though clients can pay-out-of-pocket, often they can’t or are not willing…
