Obamacare and the changes it represents could save our primary care doctors from extinction, or it could crush them.

Imagine health care without your Familiar Physician. Every time you're sick, you're a stranger, enduring long waits for medical treatment from someone who may never have seen you before.

This is what the future could look like ... because there's a tempest bearing down on primary care medicine -- powered by frustrated primary care doctors retiring early with not enough physicians in the pipeline to replace them; more than 30 million newly insured patients; an aging population; increasing regulations; and it's converging with a sea change in health care reform.

This is the story of the dedicated physicians who helped build the medical home into American health care -- the personal journey of Dr. Peter Anderson, a pioneer in team care medicine, the extraordinary vision of IBM's Dr. Martin Sepúlveda and the powerful crusade of advocacy of his colleague, IBM's Dr. Paul Grundy.

The Familiar Physician is a story that will enlighten readers on the perfect storm bearing down on primary care doctors and what each of us needs to do to protect what we value most about our health care.

Author Biography

Dr. Peter Anderson, a pioneer in team care medicine and a passionate champion for primary care, struggled for a decade to save his own medical practice while also creating strategies for the tempest descending upon primary care medicine.

With co-authors Bud Ramey and Tom Emswiller, two long-standing, award winning health care communicators, Dr. Anderson describes the quickly approaching crisis that holds the potential to impact health care in America for decades.

It's powered by burned-out and frustrated family doctors retiring early with not enough young primary care physicians to replace them; more than 30 million newly insured patients; an aging population; increasing regulations and decreasing reimbursement--and it's converging with a sea change of healthcare reform in a world of uncertainty.

It's the perfect storm that endangers primary care medicine and threatens to drive our trusted familiar physicians toward extinction.
