How will Obamas Health Care Plan effect dentist's salaries? ?

Monday, January 10, 2011

Dental/Medical students acquire tons of debt to obtain their desired degree. For example, I will have approximately 300,000 dollars of debt when I get my DDS degree, and thats without starting a practice.
--------------------
in some socialized countries like germany, their subsidized health care plan has driven down doctors' wages so much that fewer people go into the medical field. I remember reading that their wages were something like $50K. However, in the UK they make as much as the US doctors. Dental care is considered more of a cash service there unless you're poor or a child. So yes it's definitely a possibility that your wages will go down if by some magical occurrence Obama's health plan passes congress. {it will never happen btw} Remember all of the president's ideas need to be passed by Congress & the House. this country was built on capitalism and will stay that way for a LONG time, so don't worry about your wages going down. You can stem your losses by doing cosmetic dentistry which will never be covered by any low-income state plan. Don't go into pediatrics.
