“Doctor shortages could lead to rationing: won’t happen. Changes will be made to accommodate doctors

DREAM ON MY DEAR, DREAM ON-the doctors I know are closing out their practices-they want NO PART of this baloney.”

I’d be very surprised to see that. Wait until they try to make money doing a real job. Besides, the only thing stopping us from having more doctors is a shortage of medical schools. We certainly have an excess of people who want to be doctors. It would be easy enough to double the number of medical schools in this country, if the government authorized it.

But that’s not the real problem, though it would help. Why not make it easier to get medical help without going to a doctor, which most countries in the world do? When you get sick in the Philipines, or Mexico, or Thailand, you go to the local pharmacy and buy the medicine you need. The pharmacist provides assistance. You don’t have to go to the doctor. Besides, half the time we already know what we need. It’s for the same thing we had last time.
