Doctor Shortages From ObamaCare


ObamaCare merely makes the doctor shortage situation worse. 


Example: For years, liberals have been vehemently against changing tort and malpractice excesses that drive doctors out of the system. Doctors just find it getting too expensive to pay ever-rising insurance premiums, especially in some specialties such as obstetrics and surgery. But it’s not because doctors are more derelict in their work. Plaintiff lawyers are more creative in their briefs.
                   
In addition, doctor fees are being sharply reduced where government control is already exercised in Medicare and Medicaid, or under Medicare Advantage.
                   
Yet, ObamaCare wants to treat up to 50 million new insured with extra doctors. The American Association of Medical Colleges says the U. S. has a shortage of doctors . What is more, this shortage will probably grow to 150,000 by 2025.
                   
The doctor shortage will lead to the rationing of medical care, so long as government policy interferes with the ability of doctor earnings to attract more qualified students for adequate training. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
