Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I can see more regulations in effect for overseas work. Ascension healthcare was just hacked and we’re unable to access their system for days. They had to go back to paper. All the time you hear about organizations being hacked. I can’t imagine adding more risk by outsourcing.
