should I still even become a doctor even after obamacare?

You might consider this:

1. Become a doctor

2. Consider spending a few years a doctor in combat areas. You will get a lot of experience that you would not get any where else

3. Then work a few years in the Obamacare system to get more experience and expertise

4. Then start your own practice or get with a healthcare system that does not deal with Obamacare, Medicare or Medicaid and works mostly on cash basis.

IF YOU A DOCTOR WHO IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE THEN WILLING TO PAY YOU BIG BUCKS TO SEE YOU

Reforms for the 1300 for-profit out-of-control-greedy insurance companies, which is what the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its supplemental Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, a.k.a., Obama Care, provide, has many consumer-protecting provisions that will enhance the performance of and compensation for health care professionals, to include the nation's doctors. You should actually take the time to READ THE LAW (P.L.111-148 and P.L.111-152) before you try to cast ill-fitting aspersions.

The computerization of all handwritten hospital records that is part of the reforms in Obama Care got a standing ovation from doctors at the physicians' lobbying group, the American Medical Association (AMA) meeting in 2009. College students (including those in medical schools) can now make low-interest DIRECT LOANS through the Department of Education to lower their long-term college debt by eliminating high-interest banks as middlemen (something the powerful banking lobby opposes, of course).

What private hospitals pay their physicians is not part of anything in Obama Care.

If you want to get into the field of medicine for the money than you should probably look into enlarging female breast and male genitalia. Real doctors don't always make the mad cash and obamacare has little impact on the rewarding field of biggering peoples junk and straitening their noses. That's where the big bucks are. The doctors who patch people up in emergency rooms are in it to save lives and they are often struggling to pay off their student loans. Obamacare does impact them. It requires people to have insurance so those doctors will finally start getting paid. But, I know the right has heard a different story and according to them we have socialized medicine now. It's stealth socialized medicine since none of us can actually see it and if you go the a doctor you still have to pay money.

Do you want to help people? That's the only good reason for becoming a physician. If you're motivated by the money, you'll find the workload is too much.

Is that why you became a doctor? Just the money or did you have a desire to cure people of illnesses? If you're in for the money...become an ambulance chaser! Who cares about the sick and the poor!

Doctors decide their own salaries so what are you talking about?

Yes, of course.

Obviously you have no understanding of capitalism....

Are you "new to America"? Then, "Welcome!"....

Adding millions of new customers will facilitate Medical Professionals earning MORE money, not less money!

(Though it will also facilitate lower "per customer" expense...)
