My daughter is a third year medical student now. God knows what’s in that bill, but I suspect they will be controlling what doctors earn now which will lead to our best and brightest now wanting a medical career anymore as well as many docs retiring early. Over the years we’re going to have second rate doctors with the abilities of your plumber. My daughter says her colleagues talk about academia and boutique medicine.
Academia already pays like crap. A doctor at an academic institution will earn about 1/2 what they would in private practice, even less than they would at a VA hospital, depending on specialty.
