Primary Care’s Sinking Ship

It’s no secret: primary care is in trouble. As costs skyrocket, doctors are scrambling to stay afloat. Their solution? Banding together in Independent Physician Associations (IPAs) to negotiate better insurance contracts.

The Bigger, the Better

By joining forces, primary care practices hope to gain some much-needed leverage. They want to secure better deals with insurance companies without sacrificing their autonomy. It’s a bold move, but will it pay off? Doctors are betting it will, and they’re not just whistling in the dark.

The writing’s been on the wall for years: primary care is a sinking ship. Doctors are overworked, underpaid, and fed up. IPAs might just be their lifeline. It’s about time, too – patients are counting on them to stay in business.
