“I take both Medicare and Medicaid”
As things stand today, forcing doctors to take less than the cost of care (that you choose to provide) as compensation for services is merely incrementally less outrageous than removing a doctors choice in who they provide care to at whatever compensation schedule the government decides to pay.
The uncomfortable point is that somehow medicare/medicaid is palatable to many conservatives, but this logical incremental step further in government over-reach is completely outrageous.
We should already be revolting in the streets - before it got to this point!
Thus is the insidious nature of socialism - we’re all socialists now.
Maybe Doctors need to unionize to protect themselves from Democrat politicians. Start strike actions if Democrat govt regulations make practicing medicine a hardship...
Get ready for unionized doctors.
In the NHS in Great Britain, they have had emergency room critically ill or injured patients patients die when the doctors and nurses went on their mandated breaks and left the emergency room patient unattended
Doctors quitting is NOT an unintended consequence - it’s what Obama WANTS to have happen. The loss of competent doctors pushes the crisis, it teaches citizens to accept the boot grinding into our faces.
You are right. I have seen the push for this already..
