I live in a fairly rural area and I have a choice of several providers I can literally walk in, just as I did two days ago....I called and they told me to come right in. I have lived all over the country...same everywhere. By the way, what does the size of my house have to do with this? Face facts...you are FOS. I'm sure you know better than industry specialists. "Approximately 95% of the hospital CEOs said there was a shortage of physicians, with a vacancy rate of 11%, meaning a little more than one in 10 physician job openings are unfilled. About 34% of CEOs had increased the number of physicians on staff within the previous six months, but 46% said patient access to care had been compromised by shortfalls in the number of physicians." ama-assn.org You seem to be worried about any number of fantastic doomsday scenarios that would adjust in any new and gradual scenarios, while escalating health care costs become unaffordable.
