While a small minority of Americans celebrates the passage of ObamaCare, one pesky – and unanswered – problem is the impending shortage of doctors, which is projected to top 150,000 in 15 years according to the Wall Street Journal.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Just because the government can provide health care insurance, doesn’t mean it can provide enough doctors to serve the insured. In other words, possessing a government-issued health insurance card does not mean adequate medical attention will be provided. That’s why patients in medically socialized countries wait to see doctors for months – sometimes dying before the “doctor is in.”
