A relative of mine, working as an ob/ gyn in a private for-profit hospital, recently had her pay knocked down approximately 30%, mainly due to administrative costs, lower insurance reimbursement, forms required, and personnel changes. The point is that the hours, paperwork, and rating system imposed by Obamacare have not been offset by increased wages or pay. Secondly a close friend (over 15 years as an RN) has relayed to me that at most hospitals the nursing staff's average age is over 50 and there are going to be serious nursing shortages when they retire. The nurse also told me that hospital ERs are also closing (they are not profitable). She knows of approximately 15 that have closed. In the beginning, JAMA, ob/gyns, individual medical doctors, hospital administrators, pharma, insurance companies, medical equipment suppliers, etc., all went along with Obamacare.
