Having doctors in extended family, I actually hear it’s hard to find work as a doctor in CA due to all the other people who also want to stay in CA as doctors…so the competition is fierce unless you are incredible.
I hear you may make more in smaller towns, but that’s just my limited knowledge in this area…
Also, in terms of salary, specialists make a lot, but even with single payer, I think the guv’ment can cut out a lot of the fat that is wasted now.
As we have many family folks who are doctors, who also make shitloads of money in other countries, I don’t agree that single payer which is pretty much everywhere will put any doctor in the poor house since the one we know are insanely wealthy.
