What do you guys think? Doomsday scenario or a legitimate concern? This is in Obama's bill.

Independent Medicare Advisory Board
"The Senate bill would establish an Independent Medicare Advisory Board, which would be required to recommend changes to the Medicare program to limit its spending growth. Its recommendations would go into effect automatically unless Congress votes to block them. Such changes would be required if the Medicare trustees projected that the program’s spending per beneficiary would grow more rapidly than the medical inflation rate or the growth in per capita medical spending. The board couldn't change eligibility or benefits, so its recommendations would likely focus on Medicare Advantage plans and on payments to medical providers."

We're going to be indentured servants for our careers!! Under Obamacare this government appointed panel of 5-physician experts are in charge of lowering medicare reimbursements. We've been straddled by medical school debt and are being forced into lower salaries, the next few decades are gonna be rough if you're not 65+.

White House version of this new panel - it's a Trojan Horse.

If I can turn back the hand of time, knowing what I know now, I would defintely not go to medical school. And that is the honest truth....

MCR pays me $17/unit to care for the very sick and all the elderly. I charge $100/unit. If you do not understand how we get paid- ask someone. It may become Very tough to get paid fairly.

Yeah...this post leads to my Eddie Murphy impersonation in the movie "Life": "we're goin' to the upper room, brotha', the uuuupper rroom!"

I recall when I first started PP in the late 90's and hearing about what it was like 10-20 years earlier, and wishing I could have practiced medicine a generation before.

Now it looks like I will look back on my practice over the last 10 years as the "good years." I feel sorry for the loss of economic autonomy new physicians will be subjected to under the Healthcare Destruction Act (Obamacare). New physicians will be nothing more than indentured servants to the U.S. government.

Medicare is very easy to fix: benefits start when you turn 200 years old.

Voila!

we are royally $crewed.

I suggest we save as much as possible and quit in a few years. Trust me, in a few years, medicine will not be recognizable.

I am starting my overtime work as we speak. I am not sitting around waiting for the govt to fix the problem.
