    Do you think this country has enough physicians to handle the increased traffic from healthcare reform? If we are going to include more people into the system, do you think it will be difficult to get into see a doctor or might you have to wait longer for a surgery?

    What will 2014 look like?

    Say for example, I have a doctor I see in Miami, and I am an established patient, so I can easily get an appointment. What if I move to Atlanta and I am in need of a new doctor? Do you think that if you are not an established patient with a doctor that it will take longer to get in? Already, there are doctors that do not accept new patients. Do you think this will increase?

    I am thinking it might be a good idea to become an established patient with as many doctors as possible prior to 2014 in case some decide to stop accepting new patients.
