I think my remarks should have contained a more complete explaination. Not all physicians will get out. Only those who are in a position to retire will get out. People who are near retirement, who have the means to support themselves and their families will ‘take the opportunity’ to exit. Many of us would have liked to continue for a ‘few more years’ will simply get out earlier. I do not think a physician crisis will ensue.
That makes sense, of course. At the same time, my son’s mother-in-law is a doctor in private practice and talks about getting out. She is ~50. Others must be considering this.
It would be really terrific, though, to hear from doctors who did not like ObamaCare, so the public could see through the fog from DC. Is there not a conservative group of doctors, a spokesman, someone who could speak to the public?
