The report said: “Nearly three-quarters of physicians (higher among surgical specialists at 81 percent) think the best and brightest may not consider a career in medicine (slight increase from those who felt similarly in 2011 at 69 percent), while more than half believe that physicians will retire (62 percent) or scale back practice hours (55 percent) based on how the future of medicine is changing.
“Eight in 10 physicians agree that the face of the future in medicine over the next decade involves interdisciplinary teams and care coordinators,” the report continued.
And while the report said four in 10 physicians had reductions in their take-home pay from 2011 to 2012, “among those physicians whose take home pay decreased by any amount in 2012, four in 10 believe that it was a result of the ACA.”
Fully half expect their incomes to “fall dramatically in the next one to three years.”
Overall, doctors are critical of the U.S. health care system, blaming problems on a defensive mode that influences treatment and results, the survey said.
Among other results: Only two in 10 doctors believe the government exchanges will be ready to go, 25 percent say they’ll limit their work on Medicare patients if the government funding program continues at it is and most believe unhealthy lifestyles influence the health care system costs.
Orient told WND the problems all generally relate to more government demands and intervention.
