wesr_gordon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just curious on how this will impact the field we are going into. Not trying to be partisan I just want some objective indicators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterallsummer Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 In a sentence: In 2014, way more people will have access to health care, significantly increasing the need for PAs (and all providers) especially in family care, and people SHOULD get better coverage and support from their insurers although we will continue to have to hassle with insurance companies as usual.

wesr_gordon Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I just don't understand where this money is coming from and how it will impact our wage, and the quality of care for our patients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderlustPA Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I just don't understand where this money is coming from and how it will impact our wage, and the quality of care for our patients. The money comes from here: http://www.usdebtclock.org/ I'm no expert on the law, but I'm afraid of the quality of care suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TThielen Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Some may think that quality of care will suffer (I don't necessarily agree) as the standards of care don't change and PA's/NP's are more than capable of providing quality care...........But either way, some care is better than no care at all!
