Sommario/riassunto

Endangered Private Practice explains how private practices are being absorbed by the current health care reform movement as a way to control costs, limit access, decrease disparities, and increase quality of care. This is the story of a fading art being squashed by the interests of business and politics. Also shared are many of the providers' concerns and fears for the future of medical and mental health care services.
