Wonder how all these SJW docs are gonna feel when they find out they’re gonna be paid less then the bureaucrats they report to and will have no independent practices they can ever aspire to.
And also how the patients are gonna feel when they find out they may or may not get medical attention when they come down with something based on some bureaucrat’s judgement, and there won’t be a damn thing they can do about it.
PS: the AMA spent years telling the Congress that there were too many docs already, and not to train more - that was back in the ‘70s. The idea was to limit competition. Unfortunately the population grew and they ended up with far less docs then they needed so they started importing docs from the Third world: the HMO’s really liked that cuz they worked cheep.
So instead of expanding US medical schools and educating Americans to be doctors - and there were millions of qualified people who applied in the ‘70s - they imported quacks. Now about 25% of docs in the US are foreign born, where that number was probably 5% in the 1960’s and before.
Great organization, that.
