"In a study conducted by Indiana State Medical Association, 50 percent of Indiana physicians plan to either relocate or retire within the next 12 months."
Why?
"Medicare is proposing to cut reimbursements to physicians by 4.3 percent, meaning physicians would incur more of the health care cost."
Add in the cuts the state is enacting and Indiana isn't the most profitable place to practice medicine. And while 50% seems unrealistic it does seem likely that a sizeable portion of Indiana's doctors are serious about moving/ relocating. And as the true cost of Bush's prescription plan is realized the cuts could become deeper.
Ok, is now the time to address health care in this country?
