Newsflash, doctors do not trust this administration and are preparing for lower reimbursement and higher taxes.
Your qualification to speak on behalf of doctors are what, again??? You had to be told all of the pertinent details about the doc-fix situation. What sort of knowledgeable person are you...

Pay attention Sanganista. I have been a medical office manager with the same practice for more than 20 years. I have participated on Medicare advisory panels. You provided no new information to me. I am on the list serv for CMS, our local Medicare contractor, and numerous other pertinent organizations. You live in your own world.

Yet the passage of H.R. 3961, the CMS extension, and the Senate extension were all news to you. I find that odd. I also find that being a medical office manager for any length of time at all does not qualify anyone to speak on behalf of doctors.

So much for "So much for those doctors quitting...."....here's why:
Quote:
SUMMARY: Savannah Guthrie falsely suggested that the American Medical Association represents all of "the nation's doctors." In fact, the AMA represents about 29 percent of licensed U.S. doctors, according to the AMA's own figures.
Then again, I’m not a member of the AMA. I never have been. Neither are very many of my physician friends and colleagues. In fact, the odds are that your doctor isn’t a member of the AMA, because at best, only between 25-30% of the approximately 800,000 doctors in country belong to it. And a good percentage (up to half of members according to one report) of those include residents and medical students, who get big discounts on membership and a free subscription to a journal when they join.
I’m a very severe critic of what AMA has done. And it’s worth noting that AMA membership has dropped from some 90 percent of doctors when I started out a half-century ago, and now about a third of America’s doctors do belong.
