The Big Health Care Mystery – Where Are The Doctors?
Yes, there is money in one of the health care bills to help train new doctors, but hardly enough. So the problem remains and also dismissed by architects of health care legislation.
The nation is facing a severe shortage of primary care doctors. Right now, scared away by malpractice insurance, there are simply not enough doctors around in Pennsylvania to to treat the current load of patients. What the heck is going to happen when 39 million new Americans are added to the health care rolls? I’ll tell you what’s going to happen – chaos.
This extraordinary lack of judgment on the part of lawmakers means that we are heading on a collision course for a medical crisis bigger than the one we are facing. Until Congress understands the nature of our doctor shortage and figures out a way to fix it, any health care reform will be dangerous at best. Is there anyone out there with an answer?
