If you frequent doctors you likely do not know how long they have been working and you likely have been seen by someone averaging 70+hours a week.

Proper documentation/insurance compliance alone means OT for virtually all docs and NPs. Not to mention on-call hours (especially for surgeons), etc.

Anyone who thinks you folks work a cushy 8-5 M-F, and then go home - even once established in private practice - has no idea how medicine in this country works.

Your tax plan should make single payer a reality, at least from a fiscal standpoint. You won't have to pay physicians when they aren't working. If they're not working, they won't order tests or do procedures or whatever and costs will go down. $$$ saved.

Based on the above rates, an average Family Practice physician would pay 25% of their gross income. OB 35%, Cardiology 45%, Orthopedics 54% and Neurosurgery 57%. It looks like a great way to incentivize physicians to continue their average 60 hour work week (FYI, mine averages about 80-90 hrs/wk). I'm sure you won't have to wait at all for your appointment or procedure. Of course they could always bring back Selective Service and draft us all into the military then obligate service.

I shall weep for you and your $100k+ left after taxes.

In probably 25 years, it won't.

In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
We've often been told to keep up with the times
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed

"We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first one in line for that pie in the sky
And we're always the last
When the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about"
