wife is salaried in the hospital, in private practice she was salaried but chose her own salary. She would have to work longer to make that salary plus overhead. With insurances paying less she had to work longer hours. In the end she lowered her salary. What will bankrupt doctors is insurances, not patients.

Doctor's salaries are not going up, they may want more but insurance reimbursements are going down. If a doctor billed you for lesion that needed to be removed. 20 minute visit. 70 dollars for the visit, 200 dollars for the procedures which includes labs. The total is 270 dollars. now she has to pay the nurse, the rent, the consumables, etc... The insurance would give her 85 dollars. See why they want more?
