Will Your Doctor Quit?

In this 8/12/2012 Forbes piece, Dr. Marc Siegel asks: "Will Your Doctor Quit? Obamacare Foretells Mass Exodus From Patient Care".

Dr. Siegel cites surveys demonstrating widespread physician discontent with ObamaCare, to the extent that many physicians are thinking of quitting.

There's no way to know (yet) how many physicians will actually follow through on such sentiments. And of course, much will depend on the results of the November 2012 election.

But I do know from personal experience that many doctors are quietly thinking about "exit strategies" to leave clinical practice if ObamaCare is not repealed. They may not talk about it with their patients, but they are talking about it with fellow physicians.

Maybe it's time that more Americans start asking this question as well.
