Independent vs Corporate Medicine (Guest: Dr. Hal Scherz)

It's not hard to find someone not complaining about healthcare these days, but it's not because we lack talented health professionals, it's the delivery system. There is an ongoing battle going on in healthcare that many patients might not realize, and that battle is independent practice versus corporate medicine.

Dr. Hal Scherz, Fonder of Docs for Patient Care Foundation and a doctor at  Georgia Urology, where 24 physicians were ranked "best" by Atlanta Magazine joins Health Care News Podcast to discuss the difference between small independent private practice and large corporate health care.
