The Looming Doctor Shortage



ObamaCare seeks a clinic environment to save costs. That will supposedly 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.

Physicians are expected to be imported, as they will not 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.

No one can vouch for their educational credentials as a means of ramping up their supply.

 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. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
