I'm not sure why those show up as comments. You make some good points. The Certificate of Need office at least keeps a check on the proliferation of physician owned imaging facilities in our state but it's still a problem. The funky comments are links.

Looks like there are gremlins in the Tubes here. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful article and is spot on. Having been in the healthcare industry on both sides of the fence as a provider AND as a managed care professional, you can bet that the "best practises" approach is scaring the Bejeezus out of physicians and other allied groups. I would especially like to see a prohibition come down on physician provider groups who also own onsite (or offsite) imaging facilities. There's too much incentive to drive up costs. Docs are not going to like making $75,000-$100,000 a year instead of $1.5 -3 million and will fight like hell to stop this. AMA and Big Pharma will flood the media with such feartalk. Buckle your seatbelts. What’s with the funky comments ,Adam? Looks like there are gremlins in the Tubes here. Nevertheless, this is a wonderful article and is spot on.
