I know it’s somewhat second-hand, but I’ve heard a number of doctors discussing what they are going to do if this mess gets enacted. The ones who say they are bailing are the better ones. The ones staying, well.....
the last couple of docs I heard discussing early retirement were critical-care MDs who take care of the really sick patients on ventilators and such. Already a short-supply specialty that doesn’t pay particularly well. They also manage patients in-house for GPs/internists that don’t like doing hospitalized patient management. Losing these guys would be a MESS.
I know one very good physician who put in his notice today.
