Abstract
Although there may be short-term fiscal advantages in emphasizing primary care, the long-term benefit of reducing the number of neurologists nationally is much less certain. For patients with neurologic disorders, any attempt to reduce neurologic services seems counterintuitive in the face of the estimated $400 billion cost to society of neurologic illness, [9] an aging population, and the increasing likelihood of new and effective treatments.
