"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.

Hardly the catastrophic scenario you portray in your posts, particularly in the backdrop of millions without adequate health care at all.

There are no legislative proposals pending that would decrease health care costs. The only fantastic scenarios I know of are the idea that any of this is about cutting costs.

In no small part due to absolute lack of support from republicans...the party of NO.

Is the AMA still limiting the number of med. school students? If so, how are other factors contributing to the shortage if there is that bottleneck? Seems to be if there was a shortage of applicants, then any limits on acceptances shouldn't even occur.
