The influx of patients

Anthony finished medical school and internship, landing a job at a busy city hospital. He enjoyed his job at first but soon realized that the influx of patients led to policies that he did not agree with. For instance, Anthony was expected to see 28 patients in a day. He felt that this did not give him enough time to properly assess and treat each patient. Anthony quit the hospital and opened a practice of his own. In this way, he can control how many patients he sees in a day, how much he charges for his services, and how much time he spends with each patient. What kind of healthcare delivery is Anthony now involved in?
