My GP is actually hiring people in anticipation of increased business.

No doubt, smart doctor. Honestly aside from the server overloads in the first days, this has been the only other story on my local news about the adorable care act, lol. Cute pun right? Anyway, the story from one stodgy old doctor was him kind of whining about how he won't be able to handle the increase in patients. Not a terribly bad problem to have IMHO! Short term bottleneck, long term increase in health care workers.
