This doc will not be an Obamacare doc.”
Well, if your area is anything like ours, you’re going to have plenty enough patients. Both my internist and orthopod now take only private pay patients and unless you’ve been a long time patient, it’s tough to get seen. Several of my doctor clients are getting off managed care panels. Amazing how many patients are willing to be seen at private pay rates.
There will always be a need for good, caring doctors and patient’s who don’t want their medical history all over the internet are seeking them out.
Fortuanately or unfortunately I am an internist who practices solely in the hospital ( a hospitalist). If we go single payier my only recourse will be to retire. I want to get my kids out of college first, but I won’t work in a NHS type system. I’ll work something else out first.....
