Obama Health Reforms Pushing the frontier to have doctors salaried instead of fee-for-service...

Some of the most prestigous names in US Healthcare eg. Mayo Clinic, Cleveland clinic have gone the way of putting their doctors on salary instead of fee-for-service. The objective is to take out any incentive for doctors to order unnecessary tests and services for patients.

In the latest drive under the President Obama Health reform, this issue is again surfaced as an appropriate approach for the rest of US healthcare to follow in their quest to control costs.
