I mentioned this to a conservative buddy of mine who happens to be a GP, and he brought up a great point:
If the government is putting doctor's out of business by making insurance impossible to navigate, what makes you think that government would allow physicians to practice if they don't toe the government line?
Physician licenses would be invalidated faster than you could say Obamacare if they decided to go to a cash-only model. They may have the expertise and knowledge to perform surgery, but they would have to do it illegally according to the government.
You’ll see the best and brightest heading offshore, likely somewhere in the Caribbean, short plane ride from Florida.
Medical tourism will be a booming industry, and will create a lot of well paying jobs somewhere.
