Well, yea.

You either retire, or flee the country, if the state decides to socialize your profession.

Waiting for Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid to suggest just nationalizing health care by just drafting all the doctors....

Heck, with all the Mao-lovers in the Democratic Party they'll just suggest nationalizing everyone and hand out gray uniforms and little red books!

If you think finding a doctor is bad now, be aware that President Clinton was persuaded to cut back on medical school bucks, so the number of doctors matriculating has decreased. There are just fewer graduates. That and pitiful Medicare reimbursement and record keeping means that the old docs won't be spending their time seeing the other old farts, they'll be out on the links. Why work for pennies?
Every session of congress has to vote to postpone the legislated decrease in medicare reimbursment, or there would be a total revolt with NO one accepting medicare patients.
ACA will make that worse, as record keeping, and "precise" statistics on treatments must be kept and reported to the government, with penalties for those whose treatments are not as successful. A proposal was in there at one time to punish the physician who recommended the most tests, no matter the necessity.
I know two of my brothers are considering quitting the profession, not sure on the 3rd.
