The changes in healthcare and insurance, for those planning a career in medicine, the cost of obtaining this training will not be as attractive if even worth it.

Right now insurance companies dictate a doctor’s salary. With the lawsuit against IGENIX and United health care, those which have out of network benefits, really better not use out of network providers EVER. REimbursement rates will now and forever be medicare based, so anyone with a $20,000 a year health plan will be worthless.

This pricing model will force newly licensed doctors to be employees of hospitals, unable to ever afford to begin a practice.
