The US is the most overfat country in the world. We have tons of obesity, CVD, heart disease, MI, all this bypass stuff , etc.. So why, in a country where cardiology should be a priority, is it being cut so bad? It's not like it's easy AT ALL to get into and complete a cardiology fellowship. I just don't understand it. It's sad that people who love cardio and are good at what they do get reimbursed less and less.
And by what mechanism and rationale is it being cut? Is it simply Medicare? Or does the ACA have equal impact? Thanks for clearing this up. I'm just a curious incoming student.
