Talk about cherry picking! The comments come almost exclusively from university-affiliated research hospitals. Cardiologists make staggeringly high salaries and many of the commenters are noting that the patient pool will enlarge, meaning greater payments in the assumption that reimbursements will now be received for treating those patients who don’t currently pay.
Wait till the reimbursements are cut and older patients are excluded from approved treatment due to new gov’t rules. I can assure these physicians that a big issue with academic health care planners is reducing the costs associated with end-of-life care. Much of that care funds these cardiologists. They are definitely under watch by those who seek cost reduction in the health care system.
However, if you treat people who are popular with the politicians, you are likely to get lots of care in the future.
Not to mention that all doctors will be paid the same. I expect a severe shortage of neurosurgeons, etc.
