Senate Democrats won their first test vote last night and it seems they are almost assured of passing some form of healthcare “reform”. The critics are coming out of the woodwork primary because of all the side deals that have been made to get to the 60 vote requirement and the fact that nobody can claim that they have read the entire bill. The AMA, Unions, and other groups that previously supported the bill have now backed off.

This is very scary for doctors. Who knows what is in there that will affect their practice of medicine and the requirements placed upon them as a small business. We have predicted from the beginning that three things are certain:

1. Your fees will go down. The $1 trillion price tag will be financed by healthcare providers.
   1. The red tape will increase. It will cost you more to run your practice.
   2. Your taxes will go up. A triple whammy for doctors.

Stay tuned, as we get the details we will share them with you. If any of you have read the bill or heard about issues that affect doctors, please let us know on our blog.
