How is this healthcare bill going to effect the salaries of doctors?
Everything seems to contradict itself.
I've heard:
A. The "public option" will decrease physician salaries anywhere from 15-20%
or
B. The "public option" will increase the number of insured patients by 32 million and therefore the demand for doctors will be high enough to boost salaries.
or
C. You will be forced to see several more patients per day and still not make as much money as you could have had the health care bill not passed.
Is anyone else as confused as I am? It seems that no one really has a clue as to what is going to happen, and frankly that scares the **** out of me.
