Quote:There are MANY incentives to become a doctor and we have a shortage of doctors without single payer which adds a LOT more people into the system.Sounds like we need to train more doctors and properly fund the system. Wonder how we could do that, wait.... I know, resort to substandard care?
Quote:If you are unwilling to change the system, then all the people willing to become doctors are already on their way to becoming doctors and we still have a shortage of doctors without single payer which adds a LOT more people into the system.Perhaps we should change the system that trains doctors..I know, crazy talk. Allowing non-doctors to perform medical operations we currently require doctors to perform isn't adding doctors..Cov....it's substandard care.
Quote:We have a shortage of doctors moving them doesn't change that and single payer which adds a LOT more people into the system.We have a density problem more than a physician per capita problem.....and moving them does solve that..but yeah, sure..if we add more people we could always use more doctors. Doctors not being notoriously underpaid, I'm not sure how you'd track back to your plan on this one....without, of course, resorting to substandard care.
Quote:We can go single payer... we just can't give everyone medical care with it. We'll have to limit what is covered, how long it takes to get it, or even do some goofy approval system to see if patient qualify to get the treatment they need... and it'll all be no care at all.If you say so, death panels and all that, right? Meanwhile, I think that a country with the amount of scratch we have to spend and do spend can do significantly more than Canada or the UK. We -could- have the crown jewel of health care among first world countries.....but our spending priorities just aren't there, are they? I guess the answer must be substandard care.
