imdw – Why don’t you explain to everyone how this is all going to work without rationing and shortages and without the government dictating where new doctors can practice and in what specialties if any.

We await your expertise.

“Right. Like Canadian maternity wards with only 2 nurses on staff. Now you are getting it.”

So lets have some private maternity wards.

Anyone wonder why Cuban MDs are flooding South Florida?

Because a part-time hooker in Havana makes more money than an MD.

O-Bambi care takes us there.

IMDW,

Import MDs? We already do it and we are running out of them anyway.

A simple fact of life only the perenially stupid don’t get is that the less lucrative the profession the less people enter it.

MDs in Family Practice area are getting screwed harder every day and the #1 SOB is CMS.

Worse yet, it takes longer to create 1 MD than it does to drill the entire continental shelf for Oil. So all these idiotic O-Moron ideas cause damaged not in months but in decades.

Facts are facts.

I am not MD, but with O-Moron Health Care why in god’s green earth would I go to 10 years of training to make $100K per year as a Family Practioner?

Better to get a job picking up garbage in New York and work 2-3 hours of over-time to make up for the base pay gap.

Socialism, Garbage men and Transit Workers make more money than most GP and Family Practitioners.

“But Teachers are a privileged political class and MDs are not.”

Rather I think its that your analogy is wrong. Teachers and schools are in an employer/union relationship. But MDs and medicare are not in that relationship.

But now you tell me there’s an MD shortage? Lets import some then.
