“...they’ll be on the government payroll.”
They won’t be able to afford six-figure malpractice insurance on a gov’t salary.
This could get interesting.
Notice I put that in quotes. I recognize them for nothing much more than a useful tool of the Left - operating much like a union. After we get universal healthcare, they likely will turn into a union....officially.
One reason Canada has fewer doctors per capita is they set a wage for doctors, and most are not willing to work up there for so little money.
Very few even join AMA now days, it speaks for a small percentage of doctors and some of the offshoot organizations in 17 states are fighting back against the AMA endorsement from yesterday.
Rationed by Romney.
Flows off the tongue.
Fricken communism.
bump.

LOL—can we say “primary care doctors avoid the chronically ill”—!! Dr. Jones does not take new patients unless they are young and healthy and do not have high blood pressure and/or diabetes.
see 29—people in Mass can’t find family docs if they have a lot of medical problems.
Capped salaries, rationing of care, and NO tort reform in sight - gosh, what could go wrong here?
At the public level in the UK....doctors are exiting on a weekly basis. The system is not capable of supporting long-term care for decades to come. You can predict the UK system falling apart by 2020 without a radical change...but no one is willing to pay for anything...thats the curious thing...they just want free care.
One of my co-workers spent significant time in OB/GYN. He is still having to remind himself that VB means Visual Basic in a software shop.

Heh.
I think a lot of people don’t understand how physicians are paid or how malpractice insurance actually works. They seem to think practioners are paid an exhorbitant salary for something that should be a right; beyond that, they don’t think.
