It is costing the hospital a lot of money; the IT (info technology) dept is also greatly impacted by this code set change.

A friend is an optometrist, thirty years in practice using paper records.

He was complaining the other day that Obamacare's electronic medical records (and other) requirements are going to bankrupt his practice.

He's an outspoken liberal; I resisted the urge to point out that he voted for Obama. The look on his face was priceless.

One of our hospital's best doctors, had a private practice (she wasn't part of the hospital associated physician group)
sent out letters in the beginning of December. She was quitting being a doctor as of Dec 31, 2013. She specifically cited the new regulations and cost of practicing as her reason. I was personally upset; she was my doctor.
I think this is going to be a common occurrance
