Topic: ObamaCare (ACA) is affordable? By whose standards? | |

mds are underpaid?,,,,interesting anyway,, those I know haven't left their careers,, not much else that they can make a comparable salary with in this economy or culture without spending another 8-12 years in college,,which would REALLY cost them money Unlike anything else one cannot look at gross salary as actual income. Lets do a little breakdown. MD's will make about 200 grand a year median pay. This will net about 125k. Now subtract about 25,000 for malpractice, and about 35,000 (annual student loan payment for 10 years). This will be a take home pay of about 65,000. This is for a 60 hour work week. If they are not underpaid, they are at the cusp of being not worth the extra 10 years of training. If they are required to accept medicare/medicaid as viable insurance you'll be seeing a lot fewer doctors making 200k a year plus. Couple this with the fact that paperwork is taking more and more time and you have a less rewarding career altogether. Yep, they've already bankrupted the middle class and senior programs like SS and medicare, only thing left is the young and healthy and the rich.....Obozo exempted the rich.....so guess who pays? |

Yeah, that's the trend I am seeing. Punish those that make a living. Go after those that can afford to raise a family and live independently. Go after the salaries of those who build themselves up from nothing, and give bonuses to those who make millions or a year. I hate seeing Docs who make 250 a year get lumped in with money hungry CEO's who make more and pay less overhead. |
