83% say they are thinking about QUITTING

Yeah..when they are at retirement age. What are they going to do if they quit now? Go out and sell cars?

Still a waiting list for med schools.

Don't get me wrong I don't like obamacare in the least but the doctors are the worst bitch and moan complainers in the world.

Not enough people ask the key question: Obama wanted to improve access to health care -- what did he do to achieve that??

He's done nothing -- in fact, made it worse. Improving access to health care would invovle things like: training for nurses, training for general practioners, training for specialists, building clinics in areas which are currently under-served. ObamaCare doesn't do any of that!

ObamaCare fiddles with bureaucratic forms, tweaks laws dealing with the insurance industry, and puts overseers behind desks.

There is no improvement in access to health care -- and the bureaucratic nightmares drives good people out of the industry, which results in LOWER access to health care.

But I guess the "experts" don't see much reason to talk about this.

They may quit in the US, but they will open up in Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Virgin Islands, Belize, El Salvador, Guatamala, and other places that actually know how to run a government............

And he/gov't shouldn't!!! The private HC system should be doing that..but they won't for various reasons.

The med schools keep enrollment low for a reason.......more docs and their pay goes south.

I’m with you.

Let’s get with those who want to serve, not those who seek only to make a gob of money.

Money’s fine, but medicine (long long ago) stopped being primarily about medicine, and started being about degrees.

Imho.

That was part of the plan!

The government wants to take over the health industry just like they want to take over every aspect of our lives.

Everything the government has tried has failed...but ‘some people’ do get richer before bankruptcy and those ‘same companies’ donate to left. Go figure.

Let the private industry do what it does best and keep the government out of our ‘everything’.

And he/gov't shouldn't!!!

I don't disagree. But usually, the act of "doing nothing" comes pretty cheap. Obama will spend trillions of dollars and he will do nothing. I have a problem with that. I'd like him to do nothing a little more cheaply.

Is that before or after they pay their malpractice insurance?

This article from 2005 states that the average cost of malpractice insurance was from around $60k to $145k depending on the specialty and the state.
