A little insight on what prospective Obama administration health care coverage will look like under the recently passed law. Notice I used the word “coverage” because it is not similar to the term “health care” that is what the public really wants.
The new law seeks a clinic environment to save costs. That will also reduce the need to overcome the oncoming severe shortage of primary care doctors. Patients will be seeing more nurses when they visit those clinics, being referred to actual doctors only when in dire need.
As for the physician shortages, they will be imported, as they are not expected to be in ample supply from our schools. They will come from countries where education is cheaper and prospective doctors are willing to work for less.
There will be affirmative action for more minority doctors in this country. A lowering of certification standards is already underway in the U.S., according to some specialists, to get more doctors into practice, despite official denials to the contrary.
