MTSOs Can't Survive CommieCare


Posted: Aug 18, 2010

HOW can MTSOs possibly survive this?

"Doctors, meanwhile, are selling their practices to local hospitals. In 2005, doctors owned more than two-thirds of all medical practices. By next year, more than 60% of physicians will be salaried employees. About a third of those will be working for hospitals, according to the American Medical Association. A review of the open job searches held by one of the country's largest physician-recruiting firms shows that nearly 50% are for jobs in hospitals, up from about 25% five years ago.

Last month, a hospital I'm affiliated with outside of Manhattan sent a note to its physicians announcing a new subsidiary it's forming to buy up local medical practices. Nearby physicians are lining up to sell—and not just primary-care doctors, but highly paid specialists like orthopedic surgeons and neurologists. Similar developments are unfolding nationwide."

The brother of a friend of mine is a physician recruiter for the military.  He says that this year the docs are WAITING IN LINE to get on, whereas in years past they begged, pleaded, cajoled, etc. to get new docs.

Three questions for you CommieCare supporters: 1)  17,000 new IRS agents, not a single DOLLAR for a nurse or doctor.  Yet at least 1/3 of docs (depending upon which poll) say that they will QUIT if this passes.  Also add in MILLIONS into the "system," then another 13 million at LEAST (more like 25-30) for ILLEGAL ALIENS.  Just WHO is going to take care of this massive influx of new patients, not to mention the ones we already have -- the IRS? 2)  Would you take a job w ...

Hello to all you great MTs: I am trying to get my hands on the book, "Can America Survive?" It is by John Hagee, yes he is a minister, doctor, author, even termed..great visioner..or whatever.

Can A Divided America Survive? The US Is Currently The World'sJun 15, 2017
But America is no more immune from collapse than were some of history's most stable and impressive consensual governments. Fifth-century Athens, Republican Rome, Renaissance Florence and Venice, and many of the elected governments of early 20th-century Western European states eventually destroyed themselves, went bankrupt or were overrun by invaders. The United States is dividing as rarely before. Half the country, mostly liberal America, is concentrated in 146 of the nation's more ...
