I would suspect under Obamacare if it includes abortion and it will because it will be done for medical reasons the doctors would be paid an annual salary regardless of how many procedures they do.

Interesting to see if you would get as many willing to perform abortions if they are going to get the same or similar salary as a gynecologist who does not.

I don’t know what a gynecologist charges for a therapeutic D & C, but I’m sure it’s a lot less than the Dr. Tiller’s out there are charging for abortions...

I don’t see doctors working under salary. They will be on a strict fee schedule that will be ratcheted down to very little.

Doctors will then be working for hospitals, and I suspect the last bastion of the private country doctor will vanish.

There needs to be some kind of assistance to hospitals now who treat the indigent. The private pay hospitals are NOT seeing these people, and therefore the not for profit hospital are , and they are dying out there and close to bankruptcy.
