I think we will eventually have a severe shortage of doctors and quality of care will be much worse than it already is. I don’t think most doctors become doctors to become rich, but I think they do want to be able to provide good care to the best of their ability and they won’t be able to do that. I’ve had doctors tell me that the cost of malpractice insurance drives doctors right out of their business, yet this bill doesn’t address tort reform. Ins companies know how much it costs just to defend all the cases and therefore malpractice insurance is a huge reason that healthcare costs are so high. This bill is insane but what can we expect when people are in charge and have a majority that are communists to their core. I think it will take years for the full impact of this to be felt.
Yes they do, and there's nothing wrong with that if they do the job well. Being independent used to be an attraction to the profession but that's history now for the most part.
