Next generation of U.S. doctors sees gloomy future | Long Island Business News

Next generation of U.S. doctors sees gloomy future | Long Island Business News: A majority of young doctors feel pessimistic about the future of the U.S. health care system, with the new health care law cited as the main reason, according to a survey released to Reuters on Wednesday.

Nearly half of the 500 doctors surveyed think the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement, will have a negative effect on their practices, compared with 23 percent who think it will be positive.

Of the 57 percent of young doctors who are pessimistic, 34 percent cite the new health care law or regulations as the reason for pessimism. Other reasons include declining reimbursement for doctors and a decrease in incomes.
