just did a presentation on this, whohoo. anyways, IF this were to happen, most doctors would be able to negotiate their salaries, even though they might be paid slightly less. but if you're in medicine for the right reasons, u should be happy about being able to treat more patients & shut yo' mouth

How would you be able to negotiate your salary under a single payer system? It would make sense that the single payer dictates reimbursement rates.
As for getting into medicine for the right reasons, that's a very "pre-med" thing to say. You want me to see more patients while continuing to watch my pay decrease? This is on top of the increasing liability, decreasing respect, outrageous student loans, increased education, and decreased earning potential (in terms of time) seen in medicine. Insane.
