The Doctor Shortage Is Coming: Whom Should We Blame?

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Health Care: The Association of American Medical Colleges is projecting a doctor shortage that will surely have a negative impact on our well-being. But we’re not surprised. We’ve been watching government chip away at this for some time.

 

According to the AAMC, “under every combination of scenarios modeled, the United States will face a shortage of physicians over the next decade. . . . ranging between 61,700 and 94,700, with a significant shortage showing among many surgical specialties.”

 

President and CEO Darrell G. Kirch said “the physician shortage is real, it’s significant, and the nation must begin to train more doctors now if patients are going to be able to receive the care they need when they need it in the near future.” But being a doctor isn’t quite what it once was. Filling the gaps won’t be easy.

Who should we blame?

 

 

 

Should be obvious to all! It is a little known fact that he is really the love child of Joseph Stalin & Eva Braun.
