I know there are other forums for this, but as I hope to pursue EM I'm looking for opinions from seasoned EM physicians and residents who have had to deal with our current system.
Healthcare reform keeps floating to the top in the current presidential race and I'd like to know your opinions. Do you think any of the candidate's proposed plans are likely to;
1-Improve patient's morbidity, mortality and/or compliance?
2-Decrease the percentage of the GDP spent on healthcare in the US?
3-Improve a physican's treatment options for his/her patients?
4-Stop the progressive yearly decline of physician salaries when compared with inflation?
Please expound on any of these questions or on how you see healthcare changes effecting EM practice, patient care or reimbursement in the future.
