A future Administration could react as badly to a medical provider shortage induced by half government regulation. I don't put it past government to act stupidly. Those wage and price controls are an excellent example. I just don't see how opting to put doctors on the federal payroll would be chosen as a solution to the problem of a shortage. How could that produce more doctors? Some college kid sees doctors being nationalized so he decides to jump on that wonderful bandwagon and become a doctor? Not hardly. Actually, I suspect it is highly likely. I can't even begin to connect those particular dots.
