Opinion columnist Ellen Goodman laments, as many people do, the decline of the generalist. "A half-century ago, we had an equal number of generalists and specialists. Now there are two specialists for every generalist. In clear view and with all undeliberate speed, we developed a system that rewards procedures over primary care."
If that's a problem, isn't one possible solution the rise of concierge medicine, which various bloggers on this site have mentioned, is under assault from overreaching insurance regulators?
