This is what you've been saying @[728961585:2048:Angela Gray]? Reading it described this way, it sounds like the same concerns most small businesses have. Small business is rarely very profitable, there aren't economies of scale. Corner shops and other small shops have significantly disappeared over the past decades for the same reason. In this case small practices have survived because of historically larger incomes than most small businesses, which the Medicare rebate freeze has put a lid on. The rebate freeze is designed to undermine Medicare, which is despicable, but what it has done has forced medicine into the same situation as most small business. Are GPs setting up their own bigger practices, to take on the corporates? http://www.smh.com.au/national/health/gps-despair-as-work-pressures-on-the-rise-20170426-gvstzn.html
