This is a pretty stunning admission, but now even the left-wing Associated Press is admitting that if Obamacare gets passed there will be a major doctor shortage that won't soon be resolved because of the crush of new patients.
The AP posted a piece Sunday that warns that Obamacare will make worse the national shortage of primary care physicians using experience of RomneyCare in Massachusetts as a cautionary example.
As Massachusetts' experience shows, extending health care to 50 million uninsured Americans will only further stress the system and could force many of those newly insured back into costly emergency rooms for routine care if they can't find a primary care doctor, health care observers said.Naturally the AP gives Obama cover by reporting the many times he's said how much he cares about primary care physicians. But the fact is that there will be a massive shortage of these doctors once Obamacare is passed.

He won’t give up, he can’t accept reality. His ego and his malignant narcissism won’t allow for that. He’s going to have a total meltdown, and take everyone with him.
That’s OK. They will get ACORN staff to fix you up
Can’t repeal the law of supply and demand.
It’s not about “care”....It’s about establishing another “kitty” like SS, Medicare, Medicaid....AND PAYMENT WILL COME FROM YOUYR PAYCHECK....JUST LIKE THE OTHER KITTYS...
I know an Eagle Scout that planned to be a doctor. By the time he made it to college, he’d changed his mind and he studied law.
Why?
His dad was a medical doctor that left his practice to become a veterinarian. The reason? The increasing costs for malpractice insurance.
It’s not about medical care, it’s about CONTROL.
My doctor seems to know his stuff, but I'm never sure he understands what I am saying.
Well, there was a thread on here a while ago that said 45% of doctors plan on quitting or retiring if Obamacare passes.
Things would be a nightmare.
There are perhaps 10 million Americans who are not well served by the current system. Obama's plan will result in 300 million Americans being not well served by the new system.
Let them try to shove this down our throats. They will endure a bloodbath at the polls next year.
Whoa! Now there's FIFTY MILLION uninsured? If ZeroCare gets passed, it will be 300 million uninsured.
