Who do you want your physician to be employed by? That's the question Lawrence Casalino from the Weill Cornell School of Medicine asks at the top of the latest Piecemeal episode.

In this episode, Dr. Lalita Abhyankar explores the relationship between negotiating power among large provider groups and insurers, capitation, the role of private equity in the health care system and independent primary care, and consolidation in the primary care market.

Guests include Lawrence Casalino from Weill Cornell School of Medicine; Shawn Martin, CEO of the American Academy of Family Physicians; Gail Guerrero and Cathy Romero from Gila Valley Clinic; and Dr. Kyle Leggot from the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Piecemeal was produced by Dr. Lalita Abhyankar for Health Affairs.
