It could improve the quality of rural healthcare by specialties such as OB/GYN or neurosurgery to be able to practice in those areas.
It would increase the income of specialists by almost 100,000/year expecially those with incomes over one million.
Cons..lots of them. Spitty could probably answer this better than I.

I don't understand how it will have a minimal impact and how it will increase income? Please explain this to me. If doctors have lower insurance cost they're likely to lower their prices. Expenses are laways passed on to the consumer.
Another point we should all consider, is universal healthcare won't reduce the cost, if anything it will increase it dues to 40 million more being insured. Also, people will be more likely to go to the doctor for smaller things which will also drive up costs.
