With all the talk of plans to cover America’s growing number of uninsured and the issue a focal point of the 2008 presidential campaign, physicians should expect continued efforts by the states to enact legislation to cover the uninsured. Most likely that legislation will squeeze physician income and autonomy, so doctors had best be aware of what’s in store for them.
