re: The 2016 Physician Compensation Report is out

Whether people like it or not, a nationalized single payer system will occur here in the decades ahead. Only receiving reinbursements via medicare and medicaid will result in physician salaries that hover around

When that happens, no one will go into medicine unless Med school debt and malpractice, among many other things, can be controlled for. Coming out of a residency at 30yo (at best, most likely 34-35) with $200k+ in debt, making $100k per year and paying $60k per year in malpractice. Who'd want to do that when you can do a lot less stressful jobs and make a hell of lot more.

So then you get everyone treated by NPs, which are great for the everyday stuff, but are shite for anything complicated (and I work with 2 NPs). Just watch that mortality rate skyrocket.
