What specialties do you expect will be hit the least/most by Medicare for All? I am sure that an outright passage of the bill is unlikely, but in any case I think the country will become more accepting of the idea in the coming decades.
The military sallaries are a function of private practice supply of physicians. I wouldn't bet the barn on those numbers.Will be similar to the military or VA salaries right now:
180-220K for primary care
300-400K for high paying subspecialties
It'll likely be a slow move from our current rates to somewhere closer to what Europe pays. How close and how quickly we will get there are the big questions.The military sallaries are a function of private practice supply of physicians. I wouldn't bet the barn on those numbers.
Who knows what the world would look like?
Procedure driven specialties will likely be impacted the most, surgical subs and gi come to mind.
This is impossible to predict due to various political and legal reasons. Also we don't know if the M4A supporters will even win the nomination, much less the election so there isn't a reason to worry about this now.
There absolutely is need to worry about this now. I wont even be out of fellowship by the time the next 2 presidential terms are over.
The question is long term. And M4A is a long term certainty.
