research paper article #2

Marc Siegel is strongly against Obama Care as he believes its shortfalls are more damaging than the actual benefits of the plan. Through multiple surveys, it's clearly evident that a good majority of doctors don't support the plan, and many Americans in general are starting to side with them, realizing that the system also puts a strain on them as different factors such as waiting times to have a check up will be even longer due to everyone having equal opportunities for their medical needs. As nearly 48% of physicians surveyed believed that the plan will decrease their average income, 73% go as far to refuse to reduce costs. As many physicians remain pessimistic about the bill, the future doesn't look so good, as many doctors and future doctors are continuing to see more fault in the plan, and therefore, a decrease in interest for the occupation as although costs for caring for patients will go higher, wages will go lower, becoming a "disincentive" and burden for doctors and future doctors alike.
