I did wonder about that. The point of the article isn't that government, top down medical management doesn't work but rather that there is a shortage of Primary Care Docs in MA (and those evil specialist get paid way too much). Maybe they are laying the ground work for (just as the lib at the debate said) top down government which not only controls medicine but ALSO what type of doctors are needed and in what regions? “You will go into Family Practice!”

To keep this horrible shortage from happening country wide they can justify forcing the new med school grad to enter a primary care residency rather than surgery or orthopedics. (hey it's for your own good!)

Well, yeah, that too, but the article leads with central planning exacerbating the problem, and that alone is pretty unusual for America’s Pravda.
