obama-don’t-care will bring us less care not more
Posted By Mark on April 13, 2010
A new article from the Wall Street Journal tells us:
Experts warn there won’t be enough doctors to treat the millions of people newly insured under the law. At current graduation and training rates, the nation could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
You know what that means? It means that you won’t be able to see your doctor … unless you are willing to wait, and wait, and wait. Rember this post?

Unfortunately, it appears I was correct. Don’t worry though, we can fix this fast by educated more doctors right? Uh … not so much says the Wall Street Journal:
“It will probably take 10 years to even make a dent into the number of doctors that we need out there,” said Atul Grover, the AAMC’s chief advocacy officer.
Well, how about bringing in more doctors from abroad? Quick fix, right?
While doctors trained in other countries could theoretically help the primary-care shortage, they hit the same bottleneck with resident slots, because they must still complete a U.S. residency in order to get a license to practice medicine independently in the U.S.
Thanks a lot obama, Pelosi and Reid.
