Medicare cuts - the effect on family physicians and patients

don't ever trust a black doctor

Doctors may no longer become millionaires within 5 years of practice. Costs have to be controlled.  The government simply cannot afford to pay $300,000/yr salaries for every doctor who feels entitled to it. At some point, medicine should be what you love, not what you can make in cold cash.

@tim23z " for every doctor who feels entitled to it." Seriously? Yeah, okay. Doctors spend up to 15 years in college and residency working 20 hour shifts everyday and is On Call almost everyday of the week. Doctors don't feel entitled to getting a large salary. They've worked for that money, and theyve worked HARD. You dont, and cant go into Medicine just because its what you love. That is absolutely absurd. No amount of love will make somebody work allday everyday till they die for nothing.

Government robbing the people like you say what does the Government give back to the Senior Citizens after all their life paying into Medicare.

So we work all our lives, paying into Medicare, and this is what happens?

When you pay into Medicare now, you are paying for people who currently receive Medicare benefits. There is no account that you pay into for yourself.
