I mean what do you want from me? A number? It depends on what kind of doctor you’re talking about, where they work, how strict the government decides to be with allowing premiums to increase, and how much healthcare shifts to a pay-for-performance based compensation. Even if I knew all that, it’s still anyone’s guess as to exactly how much of a hit doctors will take. Bottom line is Obama took a large bite out of the hand that feeds American doctors, and we just took a very noticeable step closer to the socialized healthcare systems of countries where salaries pale in comparison to what our doctors currently make. The difference is those doctors don’t spend 4 years in undergrad AND go to med school for free. But I recommend you do your own research and come up with your own conclusions if it’s that important to you. Your question is much more complicated than I think you realize.
