Single payer system

So it’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that a single payer is coming. What will this do to reimbursements/our income? Doesn’t Medicare/Medicaid pay about 50% of private payers for Anesthesia services? I believe for surgical subspecialties it’s closer to 75%, so we are the ones who are going to get hit harder than anyone. Also, this is all pure speculation, but when do you believe this crossover is going to take place? I’m thinking 2021 once the New Democratic President takes office... Single payer system
