If you go to the CRNA website you will find that the majority of specialized nurses believe that switching to universal healthcare will cause salary cuts in the medical field. The question then is not if the existing medical professionals are okay with a salary cut. Rather, we should be concerned with the way that this effects medical students. The health industry, more than any other, needs to attract the best and brightest talent so that optimum care and research may be provided. Counting on the goodwill of people who must endure twelve years of education to become specialized in medicine will not provide the talent necessary to fill current shortages (some of which are outlined on the CRNA website as well). Therefore, I believe that any healthcare reform should at least maintain, if not increase, the salary of medical professionals because they will be required to treat more patients, be more knowledgeable, and there will be a desperate need for more people in medicine after the influx of millions of patients with no medical history. If this is not supplied by the proposed bill I don't see how it will keep from tanking along with the health and care of millions of U.S. citizens.
