Yes unfortunately I'm leaving medicine because of ObamaCare. 3 years is what our lawyers are telling us before things start to go into effect.
I'm not the only one - many other of my colleagues and surgeons are planning their exit as well as it is no longer worth it for us docs. I don't feel like I'm betraying the public and taking my govt sponsored education with me. It feels more like the other way around.
What is unfortunate, is that once a person leaves the profession, you cannot replace them as easily as a union carpenter.
"three years is what our lawyers are telling us"? If he'd read even the first page of the Health Care Reform Act he would know for himself it's three years.
So he didn't read the document, yet he's ready to chuck his practice based on what he's told is in it.
How to rationalize trader-level greed when you're stuck in a job that's supposed to be altruistic.
IF medicine treats me fairly (i.e. not a big decrease in compensation), then I will stay in medicine. I enjoy helping people.
But anyway, the way I see it, the more money I have, the more I can give away - and the greater number of people I can help. I think this is more efficient that helping people 1 by 1 as with anesthesia.
I need to build up something now (trading) - in case I have to leave medicine. The other thing that I do is foreclosed real estate (am closing on one for 90k Dec 14th that I bought last year for 74k+2k rehab and rented out for 1 yr. I do this over and over - to avoid short-term cap gains taxes and RE also helps with the insane taxes I pay on my active income. This is my 7th unit.).
What a hack! Get out now before you kill somebody!
MichaelJ on page 3 had a realistic reply that the hack wasn't interested in responding to.

Okay. He must be a superb, gifted doctor!
Are you and your buddies here sure you know what anesthesiologists do in the operating room? You folks just don't want to see that many will leave medicine when Obamacare is instituted and for good reasons. You really think that nationalizing healthcare is an important part of our lives. When will you realize that if people wanted others to tell them how and what to do they would have just taken jobs somewhere instead of taking all the time and money to study medicine?
You progs really aren't making a lot of sense here except to each other.

This is not even nationalizing health care. We are force to get it or pay a big fine.

I suspect he is a doctor of BS much like our own "gift".
