They're already paying residents crumbs soooo.
Do not underestimate the political power of the Baby Boom generation on this subject.Since medicare pays for resident salaries, are resident salaries in danger since medicare is in danger?
Only if there is a flawed, loop-hole ridden tax law that increases deficit spending requiring cuts of important programs like Medicare instituted by a money-driven, alleged billionaire president and his financial advisers mostly from Goldman Sachs. I mean, what are the chances of that ever happening here in the USA?

I’d love to hear @mimelim thoughts on this
Ha! You sound like a post-docNah. We do more and get paid a fraction of what they pay NPs/PAs. We're very skilled, indentured servants that are very cheap. Not a chance.

Wow I had no idea you were a resident!! The more you know.I don't know what you mean by "Medicare is in danger", so it is hard to really comment.
Simply put, if Medicare disappeared tomorrow, there would be no funding mechanism for resident salaries starting in July. However, if Medicare disappeared tomorrow, I can think of a dozen worse things that would happen than residents losing their salaries. And, I say that as a resident, who would lose their salary.
