If doctors had a pay cut of nearly 5% in 2002 and have not received an increase since then, how would you expect them to stay in practice? Employees of the practice expect, at least, COLA yearly. How in the world would a physician practice stay alive? I can say for certain that renumeration and government interference is the main reason that physicians are leaving medicine in droves.
