Executive Summary - The doctors do not want to work for low wages under the new health care reform. Many of them, almost half said they would consider quitting the practice of medicine. We would expect many of them to leave the USA for greener pastures. In other countries doctors do not have to fear malpractice lawsuits and government investigations. The money would be less but the cost of living is lower and the quality of life is higher. This would result in a doctor drain. Also the highly trained health care workers that are not doctors would leave for greener pastures. So then USA opens the door for doctors from third world countries to immigrate into the USA and get fast track licenses to practice medicine.
