46.3% of primary care physicians (family medicine and internal medicine) feel that the passing of health reform will either force them out of medicine or make them want to leave medicine.

Well, that's encouraging. I guess we'll end up like Canada and have to wait 6 months for cancer treatment. But, at least everybody will have insurance, right? :crazy:

Sounds to me like Dr's either don't like doing what they do, or else they just don't want any more competition...

• 36% of physicians would not recommend medicine as a career, regardless of health reform.
• 27% would recommend medicine as a career but not if health reform passes.

Or maybe they just think dealing with the government to get paid for their work isn't worth it. Can't really say I blame them.

From what I've heard and read, dealing with insurance companies to get paid for their work isn't a real rosy picture either. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of the radical changes being proposed by Obama and company... but my guess would be that Dr's could probably find a way to get paid more when dealing with the government (certainly seems to be a common thread with other government related businesses).

Heck, I've pulled calves before, and Barack will give me $35 a pop to come along out human babies? Looks like a gold mine from my end!

Good luck man. Think I lost my chance at a gov. gig when I was interviewing for a Census job and I asked them if it would help me get a spot on one of the death panels.

you guys just don't get it. doctors are the problem. they already make too much money. the important people in this country are the poor and middle class union workers. doctors just take from the poor.

It's indeed some sort of miracle that countries like Germany have doctors at all, isn't it?

not at all. somebody will fill that role. Unfortunately for Germans, it's people who would otherwise be attorneys, engineers or some other position, but wouldn't cut it at med school unless the standards were dropped.

Interesting response - dodge the overwhelming unpopularity of the bill and more importantly ignore the potential negative consequences of it's passage.

Do you really believe this is a good bill?

His sarcastic remark is par for the course with some of the others in this thread.

Just saying.

I'm trying to get a debate on the issues going here - he's one of the few that support the bill ---- unless you want to fill in for him :)
