Yes, they are arguing over where the money will come from, but it hasn't effected the doctors yet that I know of.

Not having a pay increase since 1997 is certainly the same as a pay cut. That is 17 years without a pay increase. Most employees would NOT tolerate not having a pay increase for 17 years. Add to the lack of pay increase the layers and layers of paperwork and increased need for office staff...well, there you go.
