Thought it fitting to give props to Dr Dworkin who has written an interesting opinion piece in the WSJ entitled: "An Anesthesiologist's Take on Health-Care Reform".In summary; the right-leaning author in the right-leaning newspaper gives his opinion from the perspective of a right-leaning specialty. The funny part is I agree with 90% of what he says: I agree that many of us are looking for exit strategies if the public option comes into play. There WILL be a noticeable decrease in the quality of care once the government prices out all the private insurers.
Dr. Dworkin is an anesthesiologist and the author of "Artificial Happiness" (Basic Books, 2006).

I read it and agree. However, will it matter? If the goal is less surgeries, then less anesthesiologists are needed. As you are looking at articles, how about Vancouver Sun of this week reporting the Provincial government is cutting 6000 surgeries and personnel to match, including 13 anesthesiologists.
