I take no pills. P4P, which I dislike, usually takes into consideration many more factors than Rx'ing meds. One of the most widely quoted measures of P4P is generic med Rx'ing, and there are no sales forces for generics. So, I encourage you to keep practicing medicine tailored to the individual, and absorb the economic consequences, which, to my knowledge, are not a huge % of total compensation.

I use to HATE coming from a poor background, only to learn, I was very forunate to have had that life, for I was forced to grow up on NATURAL, HOMEGROWN foods! We could NOT afford meats on a daily basis, if we got it once a month, we were lucky! We grew up on veggies and fruits, because it was all we could afford, and got much of it free, because my brothers worked on those trucks. Peanut Butter was a Prime Rib Diner to us! Beans and Veggies was our diet, and I thought we were POOR ... what a fool we were, and how our Government play these games on us ... RUINING our health!

It is so hard finding a GOOD CARING DOCTOR today, that I am TERRIFIED when I have to see one. Granted, I am in somewhat good health, whereby my issues are eyes and teeth. I've ALWAYS had an adversion, allergic reaction to prescription drugs, and found other alternatives through vitamins. Granted, I dislike taking the "horse Pills", but I managed, with NO SIDE EFFECTS, and CURED my over all health issues, even though I am STILL suffering Eye and Teeth issues.
