more immediate impact will be those MD's in their late 40-50's (the reservoir of expertise) exiting the field or curtailing their practice. That will happen. In fact it is happening.
I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I'm going to ask my doctor what his thoughts are. He's in his early to mid-fifties. He's a specialist, gastroenterologist, not a primary care physician. Would that make a difference in his opinion of Obamacare?

quote:Degree of ObamaCare impact would depend at least as much on his employment arrangements, as his field of expertise. If he's self-employed or with an MD group practice, then he'd probably be affected. If he's employed by the hospital, government, etc., it wouldn't make as much of a difference.
