Someone ought to do a study of all the states just to see the difference between the Red’s and the Blue’s on this issue. I am betting that over time, if FUBOCare is allowed to stay, that it won’t just be NJ loosing doctors.

[posterchild]

Are they losing practicing doctors or are they losing medical school graduates? It could be that NJ is a greater than average destination for medical education for people from other states and not just natives of NJ.

They should stay. In fact I think that the governor and legislature should make it mandatory that if you are educated in the New Jersey medical schools affiliated in any way by the state that you should owe them a year per year of practice.

Same for the residency programs that are funded in any manner by the state. So if you do 4 years of school, 4-8 years of residency/fellowship programs you would have them locked in till their mid to late 30’s .. perfect.

That should just about put the entire medical system in vapor lock and shut it down in New Jersey..hahahahahaha. I’m sure that the brilliant minds that think we can tax our way to wealth are thinking about this. I say that we start a rumor and see how far it goes.

Then just add obamacare and a couple of million “free” medical clients.....should put the stake in medicine for the Garden State...what say you???

Hmmmm!!!

I thought that fatass in the governors mansion was the answer to everyones prayers. Guess not. Property taxes up 13%. Way to go fatass.

Doesn’t matter at all. As “HE” said, “You will be able to keep your Doctor.”
That is 100% correct. The question, though, is, “Will you be able to find out where the Doctor has gone and will you be able to get there in time?”
Best of luck.

A couple of weeks ago during my quarterly visit to my Internist, I asked him whether he was prepared for Obamacare.

He responded that the clinic (3 doctors) were just waiting to see what all they are going to be hit with.

In a prior visit in the early spring, he went into a rant about the paperwork and changes the insurance companies and drug companies keep making. He said he was about ready to consider early retirement.

how many docs will go cash-only?

My Cardiologist,a senior member of the medical staff at three major Boston hospitals and a faculty member at Harvard Medical School,told me during my most recent visit with him that he's going to be retiring soon.When I expressed disappointment at the news (he's an outstanding doctor and a great guy) he said that he originally planned to retire in about 5 years but he was bailing out early to avoid having anything to do with Osama Obama Care.He also said that quite a few of his colleagues at these hospitals were considering a similar move.If this plan is so unpopular at Harvard Medical School,among people who understand it better than most,you know that Max Baccus wasn't kidding when he recently described it as a “train wreck”.

“New Jersey loses nearly 70% of the doctors it educates to other states.”

This is not a big deal or even a story if you turn this around and say:

“70% of the doctors educated in New Jersey are in high demand in other states.”

Read it this way and it’s a compliment to the medical schools in New Jersey.

But don’t let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to manufacture one.
