Medical Associates needs a recommendation concerning a 225-acre land on whether to sell only 25 acres closest to an anticipated highway or if they should sell all 225-acres.

Standardization will allow clinicians to dedicate more time to patient

With Donald Trump’s presidency, Republicans are trying to replace Obamacare, which could be both beneficial and harmful to health care providers like UnitedHealth Group.

On the other hand, since the Affordable Care Act was launched in 2010, Medicaid has been one of UnitedHealth Group’s largest money-makers.

Many people believe that universal health care is a simple one solution problem, but the truth is that there are multiple forms of universal health care that provide all citizens with the health insurance they need.
