“Enjoy your coming 80% reduction in take home, your increased workloads, your increased malpractice premiums, your loss of high dollar exams to other specialties and your status as drone for the government.”
You do realize in a purely capitalistic system there would be no Medicare, no Medicaid and very limited (if any) employer funded health insurances (because there would be no tax incentives to provide it). What you would get paid would be what you are willing to work for and what the patient is willing to pay, not what you negotiated from the insurance companies. While you may think your getting a pittance for reading a chest x-ray most regular Joe’s would look at the whole minute it takes you to read it and decide you were getting grossly overpaid. You would also have no protection whatsoever from poaching from other healthcare professionals.
Be very careful what you wish for.
