For all you supporters of Obamacare: - you might find this interesting. An excerpt from my Medscape list for Physicians.

"A 2010 survey[1] by The Physicians Foundation found that 40% of doctors planned to drop out of patient care in the next 1-3 years, either by retiring or seeking a nonclinical job.

Doctors who decide to stop seeing patients are usually glad they did -- and in many cases, they're earning as much money as they did in clinical medicine, according to Steve Babitsky. Babitsky is an attorney who runs SEAK Inc., a Falmouth, Massachusetts-based company that trains physicians, including those who want to switch careers.

"Most, if not all, of the doctors who switch to a nonclinical career are happier," Babitsky said, adding that replacing clinical income is easier than you might think. "Look at what you're earning per hour of work," he said. "You may be getting less than plumbers, electricians, and landscapers."

Obamacare may cost more but you won't have much care - not with 30 million more patients and 40% fewer doctors who now have double the paperwork. Lots a luck with that!
