Although the article speaks to the lot of physicians, many other professionals will be affected to the same degree. Our lives are greatly influenced by cell phones and pagers, on-call, and societal expectations of around the clock availability. Our practice has 12 employees - professionals, paraprofessionals and receptionists - all of whose incomes are linked to our activity. We are going to take a hit, much as the physicians will, with the added negative impact this will have on the income of at least some of our 12 employees. My rudimentary economics education exposed me to the 'multiplier effect' which will become manifest as an unintended consequence of this Quixotic pursuit of 'tax fairness'.
