• Resumen

  • About 18% of the US gross domestic product is consumed by health care�more than that of any other industrialized country�and that number is expected to increase to 20% by 2020. Physicians are principal gatekeepers who decide when, how, and what health care services are delivered, with some estimates that at least 60% of health care costs are determined or influenced by physicians.
