“The med schools, for whatever reason, are not putting out enough doctors.”

***

Few want to be doctors now because of the increased expenses and hassle associated with Obmacare. A doctor now needs more staff to handle all the required paperwork. This cuts into the bottom line. All of my doctors are in some kind of group practice because they can't make it on their own anymore. Many of these practices are owned by the hospitals or health systems with which they are affiliated. These doctors are employees.

I notice that more and more duties traditionally performed by doctors are now being handled by nurses, nurse practitioners and physician's assistants. One day you won't see a doctor at all or you will be treated by a graduate of the University of Nigeria School of Medicine and Taxidermy. You won't be able to find a qualified American doctor who actually speaks understandable English.

“The med schools, for whatever reason, are not putting out enough doctors.”

It's not an unknown reason. Remember HillaryCare? One of her ways to reduce cost was to reduce the number of doctors, and do so by denying Certificate-of-Need for new med schools, and reducing the amount of Fed aid for medical student slots.
