OT- If there are too many docs in one area THE DOCS will move Curiously, it's actually the other way around. If there are many doctors in the area, there is usually a good reason for that. Could be because the area is more affluent and there are more paying and/or insured people living there, or it is naturally beautiful, or culturally advanced, or it has medical centers with an active professional intellectual life.... etc. By the same token, there are also reasons for a shortage of docs in an area. One of the biggest such reason are dislocations caused by government fee fixing.

So now you are against Obama/PelosiCare? Good question... I'm sort of on the fence. The original bill with a public option wasn't too bad but I'm afraid too much good stuff was taken out & what is left doesn't do enough to address the cost or the revenue issues. And politically, for the Dems, I'm not sure that it wouldn't be better if it went down in flames... which still wouldn't surprise me. If it does go down then you guys own our health care system and all it's problems. Every time someone gets a premium increase, and they are coming fast and huge, then it's on you.
