Time to start making it more attractive to become doctors. Start with tort reform and malpractice insurance reform.
You could also take pressure off of the system by deporting fifteen or twenty million.
More “Who’s supposed to pick our cotton?”.
BINGO!!
It’s market forces. You need more doctors they will produce more doctors
In a free market, that’s true, but the AMA restricts the domestic production of doctors by preventing the accreditation of new medical schools. That is why we have more doctors, but they’re from abroad.
Wasn’t there something years ago about Clinton, and medical schools, criteria, who could, and who couldn’t? Seems to me they destroyed our health care right under our noses.
Basically the problems all started in 1965 with one Senator named Kennedy, and a party of conniving commies calling themselves Democrats intent on plotting the course to our destruction we are now scratching our heads, and clucking about.
Democrats, Kennedy, and the Clintons. A team made in HELL.
This is no secret. As it stands the economy is running on cheap and foreign labor as at least 47% of Americans of every socioeconomic class is unemployed,under employed or on the gov-tit.
List of 90's news articles about paying hospitals to not train doctors.
Without infinity 3rd world immigration forever, we will all die!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. No way am I coming out of retirement. I have had it with telling drug seekers why they can’t have any (at least from me).
Why are we taking all of these doctors from foreign countries? That does seem like a righteous thing to do for either us or them. We need to be educating our own with good jobs. The medical community has always stymied and choked the availability of a medical education system for Americans by choice.
Correction: That does NOT seem like a righteous thing to do for either us or them.
Great book: Paul Starr’s “Social Transformation of American Medicine.” It took 75 years to recover from the glut of doctors the Civil War produced.
You would think, but eight years of college, coupled with four or more years of residency, thrown in with six figure debt allowing you to work in high stress and high regulation environments makes the career of plumbing more appealing.
This is a lie. Moreover many of the foreign trained doctors and nurses are horrible
Here is an interesting take on the role of government in causing the “shortage” of US-trained physicians:

drs work hard and have to be smart....but sometimes you look at teachers with their fluffy degrees and all the time off and perks and you wonder is it worth going to college/med school/being an intern....and the money it costs...
lets face it...we've made liberal arts a better job than the hard sciences..
Sounds interesting, but it’s not in my library.
