<p>“I do not think I am asking an unreasonable question, is that will physician’s salary be pushed down by socialized healthcare”</p>
<p>The reason the question seems unreasonable is that there are mistaken assumptions in the question. Socialized medicine is a fair description of what they have in the UK, where most doctors are either employees or contractors of the National Health Service, a government entity. That is different from Obamacare, and a change to socialized medicine is politically impossible in the United States in the foreseeable future, so any questions about “socialized medicine” belong in a discussion about medical practice outside of the US.</p>
<p>If there is any industrialized country where physicians’ salaries are at “lower-middle-class levels,” I don’t know about it.</p>
