There’s a reason the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea, etc., ended up with empty shelves and no innovation.

Universal health care does not equal universal health care. It equals being universally free to stand in line for health care that you might never get.

When I was young, doctors were one of the most esteemed members of a community.

Now, it seems, they will become slaves to the state, indentured to perform a needed service to the masses.

Every doc I know who has kids interested in health care are trying to get them in DENTAL school, which has so far (but not for long) appeared to escape the brunt of Obamacare.

Or my daughter, who is using her GI bill to become a nurse anesthetist.

the revolt will come when the government checks stop arriving in the inner cities or the first time a group of senior citizens figures out that they have to wait 2 or 3 months to see their primary care doctor ...that’s when politicians get pulled out of their houses ...

Why not accept more applicants to Medical School?

The only ones stupid enough to apply are not ones you would want to be doctors.

You should see the number of ‘nurses’ bungling the mandatory flu shots for ‘healthcare employees’ in Red Hampshire...injecting in the wrong location has left employees with painful swelling and other unpleasant consequences...a number of employees are freaking out...

Pills from a computer model will be the new doctor.

I wonder if the computer models will be as accurate as the globull warming models?

RE: Good luck finding a doctor that accepts new Medicare patients!

If ObamaCare can force a Catholic institution to pay for someone’s contraceptive and abortificent, I can’t see why a law can’t be passed to FORCE Doctors ( under pain of fines or license revocation ) to ACCEPT Medicare patients.

52% of Roman Catholics did not care about what their church stands for and voted for The One.

The answer is simple: just redefine the requirements of what it takes to become a doctor. You know - just lower the bar so any dummy can become an MD for a song and a dance. And a small fee.

Voila! Plenty of ‘doctors’ now.

And Kiran Kareti and Krishna Malineni are probably eying moving to Singapore where they can make money with taking the lash of government.

Our dogs’ vet told us there is already a shortage of meds for animals. Some drugs are just going away and there are no replacements. Would have loved to have discussed with him the reasons, but I think he wants to be apolitical with clients.

"And, yes, get ready for your serious medical conditions to be addressed by a salaried physician assistant or nurse practitioner. "

This is the answer to the INTENDED consequence of doctor shortages. I have recently discovered that some orthopedic surgeons are allowing MA's to give intra-articular injections! I think we will all remember the day of seeing a LNP or PA as the good old days. I punched out and sold my practice this year. I expect many to join me in the coming days and years.

Mua-HAHaha.

You are correct in observation of correct application of Marxist theory:
All Bourgeoisie becomes slaves to state - then workers.

Welcome to Amerika.
