" In the not too distant future, most physicians will be hourly wage earners, likely employed by a hospital chain."

I like that idea. It would save enormous amounts of money in eliminating the duplicative costs of renting office space, paying for utilities, fewer clerical personnel, insurance premiums for the doctors and a central place for all our health care needs. What's not to like?
My wife is paid an hourly wage by Kaiser. I suspect docs will be part of a hospital chain or a large HMO like Kaiser. Small practices are a dying breed and not the most effective means of providing medical care.
