Message: <blockquote data-quote="tRidiot" data-source="post: 2017027" data-attributes="member: 9374">Funny.... wasn't someone on this board just recently saying that no one is really going to be cutting back on work or hours or hiring or R&D or such due to the new tax issues? That is all a lie and a smokescreen, or people just being lazy and stupid? I distinctly remember a conversation along those lines...And yet, here were have multiple personal accounts (not to mention the dozens or hundreds of anecdotal accounts all over our state and country) from this board alone where people are complaining their personal physicians are cutting back, transitioning elsewhere or leaving altogether. Hmmm... one of the most highly-educated segments of our society. Say it ain't so. Why... what a bunch of alarmists! I'm sure none of them have run the numbers, talked to their accountants or anything like that before giving up their medical practices.Hell, one of my mentors recently did the same. She was the most dedicated physician I've even worked with, but with the new .gov regs rolling out even before Obamacare and the need to align with larger and larger and more controlling healthcare groups just to make ends meet, she was working 15+ hours a day. Then, at the end of the month, while the .gov sat on payments for months on end, she ended up in the red. After working her ass off. So what did she do???? Take a guess? She walked away... packed up and moved out of state to take a job as a hospitalist. Punch a clock, do your time, go home. So much for expanding primary care.Only gonna get worse, folks.</blockquote>
