Fret not, they can't get licensed now! (A result of decisions made during the Clinton administration that put a ceiling on the number of hospital residency training positions.) That's why so many Pakistani doctors are operating gas stations and convenience stores. (It's a more lucrative and wise occupational choice than practicing medicine today, so there's really no loss to them.)

I expect we'll soon see commercials with the gov't touting "alternative medicine", since they don't have anywhere near the number of conventional medical practitioners needed to deliver what Obamacare promised. Or any way to create them, at least during my lifetime.

Around here, Raleigh, RTP, about the only doctors accepting new patients are Indian, Pakistani, foreign. And there's a lot of them.

It's not only Vermont where the private dr.s are being driven out.
A friend's dr. told him aside from the low reimbursement for Medicare, Medicaid the time to get the reimbursement can be up to a year.
He said if you had enough money to get through a year you might be able to survive.
All my dr.s are now associated w/ a hospital now. Guess they make a set salary.
