Hi there,
I have been a devoted pre med for a very long time, but I am getting a little worried about the news articles about Obamacare and the slow transition America will probably have to a fully socialized healthcare system.
My question is, although I am not at all wanting to into medicine for money, I do want to be able to send my kids to college and have a good amount of retirement savings, is it unreasonable to expect an income of at least $400,000 for being a specialty surgeon (orthopedics, neurosurgery, urology)? and at least $250,000 for a non-surgical specialist, like an oncologist, gastroenterologist, or cardiologist?
Again, i am not wanting to go into medicine for money, at all. But when I hear things like, internists will make less than $100,000 on average in the future, it really makes me sad.
