NY Times article entitled "If All Doctors Had More Time to Listen." With healthcare costs skyrocking out of control and more family physicians feeling overworked and overwhelmed, some physicians are turning to smaller practices to cut administrative costs and actually spend time listening to their patients. How might a change to this model impact the entire healthcare system? What groups of patients would this model work best with? What are the potential outcomes of this type of model (both positive and negative)?
