title: STUDY: ACA DEMANDS MAY DETER FAMILY DOCS FROM TREATING KIDS.
abstract: The availability of primary care services for children is declining, as fewer family physicians are seeing children, according to a recent Annals of Family Medicine study. The study's authors say they are concerned that the Affordable Care Act policies that are increasing coverage for adults are spreading the services of current family physicians too thin.
