Need Some Botox With that Flu Shot? : NPR:
"Primary care doctors say they're having more and more trouble making ends meet. They're drowning in required paperwork and getting paid less than specialists. So, a growing number of general practitioners are adding cosmetic procedures to their offerings as a way to bring in more money."
No surprizes in this story, except at the end there is a bit of discussion of the reimbursement differential among procedure-based specialties and the rest of us.
And NPR really seems to be giving healthcare the full coverage blitz lately. Lots of stories about healthcare including this one on Morning Edition documenting the travails of two patients with MS. The first in the "new and improved" NHS in Britain and the other, a man in Philadelphia who thought he had good healthcare insurance.
And here is a link to their "Health Care for All" home page.
