Nobody needs to be a doctor!
In the Inland Empire, an economically depressed region in Southern California, President Obama’s health care law is expected to extend insurance coverage to more than 300,000 people by 2014. But coverage will not necessarily translate into care: Local health experts doubt there will be enough doctors to meet the area’s needs. There are not enough now.

Many more are just retiring early, or becoming hired on by companies, or doing other work. Making Dr’s government workers never is a good idea. Soon the quacks will over run the system since they are the liberal Loons who have always preferred Government servitude over individual care.
Than will start clandestine FGM & other practices as foreign Dr’s as well, become a prime source of medical practice. Taking the incentives away. just makes more room for incompetence to be accepted. As well medical schools will lower standards to fill mandated state quotas.
We have all sen it happen here.
No problem. Affirmative action will create loads of doctors; you’ll see!
Medical tourisim is always an option if you are desperate enough and/or have the money to access foreign medical expertise. India is already a destination for this type of care. Cheers.
Typical government action. Similar to governmental approach to payroll and creditors: pay but pay very very slowly. Even our
great government does it. On paper, everything is fine!
In the FSU as it was falling apart, people in supposedly safe and secure academic positions did not receive their salaries for three or four months at a time.
Sooooooo.Me,as Mr MD,am going to hike my rear end to Californicated,pay 35% of my wages to the Zero,then pay 56% of that to Californicated,(we are now at 52% for the leftards out there),then be REFUSED to see critically ill patients without insurance,because insurance is the law(bet Pelosi didn’t tell you that little tidbit),and be just so golly sure happy to do it,while having my wife work for nothing to pay the state’s welfare kiddie care?
Ehyup. Moving there right now.
Been nearby to the Imperial Valley, and with a doctor who was job shopping. Looked at a group practice in El Centro California which is ground zero for the agricultural meltdown.
The group was hanging on by its fingernails, and this was about 2000, -before- the Delta Smelt and had come down and crushed the town. Reason being, there were plenty of patients but the insurance companies wouldn’t reimburse in a timely manner. Or at all, pretty much. So lots of work but no money. Plus the town of El Centro was a total cr@ph0le even then, nobody in their right mind would move there unless they were desperate.
These days, I’m sure its much worse. Obamacare pays -less- than the old setup, so I can see any doctors still left there fleeing the place immediately. Its Soviet medical care in California, and those IDIOTS think its their freakin’ birthday. The hangover is going to be intense.
You ask me, the very best thing that could happen to medical care in Canada and the USA both is to go back to patients paying cash to the doctor. Absent catastrophic injuries like car accidents, hear attacks etc. insurance shouldn’t cover any of it. Poof, no more doctor shortage, no more crippling public debt.

It won’t happen but I couldn’t agree more.
“Mal” has a great idea,imagine the increase in self esteem for a former street person or high school dropout who becomes an A-A doctor!
Why not,it worked well in Canada with the RCMP,and even in the USA with the Presidency!
So,why NOT doctors, medicine isn’t that difficult.
Covered by incompetency AND inadequacy! What more could a citizen ask for! Sounds like Ontario! Thanks Liberal morons!

Yes indeed.
It’s so universal, it’s almost a fundamental principle: no one has to be a doctor.
