The reason Doctors and other specialized professions make so much is because they have to sacrifice a large chunk of their lives in order to go into their profession. If I had to do something for 8-10 years before I was allowed to do my job I would either
A. Find another job.
B. Demand a premium wage for my premium service.
The simple figures aside look at it from a percentage standpoint. Let's say that this bill causes a 25% decrease in a doctors income. Now picture your own salary, and that you are losing 25%.
Hopefully that puts things into perspective. To clarify I am not up on what all is in this bill (but I intend to read up). I am just trying to put things in perspective in this side argument.
BTW I already give up over 1/3 of my income to state/federal taxes and other deductions. I am against any sort of big government. So just based on that core belief of mine, I am against the passing of this bill.
