These days, doctors only options are to be employees of these large corporations that own the hospitals. That is the effect of obumbercare. Worse then that, the CEOs of these corporations are woke graduates of corrupted institutions. They want to have a say in who lives and who dies. I myself am experiencing this today. I am not allowed to make any medical decisions myself and am punished if I don’t do what the doctor wants. For example, my doctor wants me to get the jab. But I had covid just last August, what good would it do? The doctor is not happy with my decision and is refusing to order blood test for me. I’m looking for another doctor. But here in Florida it can take 3 months or more to get an appointment with a new doctor. And I need help now.
Try telemedicine.
Not just Obamacare.
GWB started the ball rolling with the EMR provisions stuck into, IIRC, the Porkulus bill.
The cost of complying with the switch to electronic medical records caused a lot of independent practioners to either retire or get eaten by health systems.
Something else we have Bush to thank for.
I live in Venice, FL and can get an appt in a month with any Dr in the area. Why are you having trouble?
You can self pay and order online whatever test you want. There are a number of companies offering an array of pee, poo, spit and blood tests.
