NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A doctor shortage is threatening to make the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act even more difficult — and it could create lines for care and services.
New Yorkers are notorious for wanting things immediately, and that includes medical care.

And the hits just keep on coming.
I have a dream...where doctors refuse to take Obama supporters on as patients. But then, I could never understand how a lawyer expected a doctor to treat them. Oh, well, just a daydream.
“But then, I could never understand how a lawyer expected a doctor to treat them.”
LOL, I always make sure that the docs know that I’m not a personal injury lawyer.
You might be surprised. Doctors have a real IQ advantage with lawyers. Had many barium enemas?
cBS gets today’s “No Sh** Sherlock” award.
Actually, a few years of Obama’s plan and the entire United States will experience a shortage of doctors.
But that’s the point of Marxism, when all is said and done - i.e., if all can’t have, then no one will have.
In the end, the Leftists will take us all back to the stone age.
Doctors will become indentured slaves of the state. Problem solved.
How long before doctors start dropping out of regular practices by the hundreds, or thousands? Shortage? You haven't seen anything yet. Just start proposing these kind of insane bills in more places and you'll see a brain drain like never before.
Forget getting an MD—learn how to drive a bulldozer: That will be the only jobs left after the RATS transform our Republic.
This was the plan all along. Reduce the number of physicians, and you reduce the number if patients.
It’s the subtle method of rationing healthcare, thereby reducing costs.
You just don’t provide service. There! Fixed!
I have a family member who is in nursing school. She is currently receiving crash-training in how to give a complete physical, and in many other tasks formerly performed by doctors.
I expect she will one day get a battlefield commission to Doctor when this all hits the fan.
Ah, nonsense! That’s what death panels are for.
Those jobs will somehow be filled by illegals. However solar and electric dozers will sit idle since by then the liberal jihad on internal combustion engines will have them all banned except for the elite few.
Here in VA, one hardcore leftie running for Delegate demanded doctors be prohibited from refusing Medicaid and Medicare patients.
Shall they be barred from retiring, as well?
Things are getting rather interesting in the USSA.
Or will be needed once the revolt is done to begin the rebuilding.
It could pretty much likely with other things bring this country closer to a revolt.
As more middle class people drop out of the obamacare insurance racket either because they can’t afford the “affordable care act” or because they simply refuse to pay for over priced policies, doctors will see a larger market for self paying patients. More doctors will refuse to accept insurance as well as Medicare and Medicaid causing a resurgence of true free market health care. (jmho)
You're forgetting EPA regs... when bulldozers are outlawed, only outlaws will drive dozers...
"Shovel ready" means just that - get a shovel.
We have a winner! BINGO!
