Welcome to life under Obamacare...
Well at least he makes enough to wallpaper his web site with parchment....
If he told us again how smart he is, I was going to throw up.
Look for the same thing to happen here. There will be a shortage of good docs, and those who are good will have lots and lots of people willing to pay them out of pocket. The income of good docs will increase, a lot, and the medical care of the average person will diminish, a lot. And, you'll have to go through a DMV like experience to receive this care in many instances.
I know what I'm talking about. It's absolutely shameful that a group of idiots who I highly doubt could get through medical school have basically reduced the quality of care for the general public.
I didn't go into medicine to get rich. I went into medicine because it was the most substantive thing I personally could do with my life, given my interests and in consideration of what things I was best at. I've always thought of it as a privilege to be a doctor. If I'm willing to make a few adjustments, Obamacare will have little if any effect on my income potential, but it will have a tremendously negative effect on what I can do for patients. Without a doubt.
One thing the general public is also probably not aware of, and isn't on their radar, is the very real possibility that the FDA will slow the rate of approval of new devices and drugs that could significantly increase medical costs. I would be very surprised if the FDA doesn't become more and more politicized, with pressure to only approve those things that are ‘cost effective’ in terms of ‘amount spent per life year saved’ in the general population. The left screwed themselves much, much more than they have any realization of.
