Not the kind of job security I'm looking for: Why the Doctor Can't See You

Why the Doctor Can't See You

The demand for health care under ObamaCare will increase dramatically. The supply of physicians won't. Get ready for a two-tier system of medical care.




Are you having trouble finding a doctor who will see you? If not, give it another year and a half. A doctor shortage is on its way.
"Here is the problem: The health-care system can't possibly deliver on the huge increase in demand for primary-care services. The original ObamaCare bill actually had a line item for increased doctor training. But this provision was zeroed out before passage, probably to keep down the cost of health reform. The result will be gridlock."
