How strange that an ultra regulated, highly taxed, midevil infrastructure Leftist Utopia would run out of doctors.
California’s worsening physician shortage.
Holy Crap! You mean when you pay doctors nothing, so you can have cheap/free health care run by the state..... doctors don't want to work there? HOLY CRAP! Someone call 911 on that emergency news! Shocked I say! Shocked. Shocked I say....
Looks like your red state cess’s don’t pay anything either.
5 states where a physician shortage is likely: The U.S. faces a growing physician shortage — the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates the need to hit 121,900 physicians by 2032 — but the need for physicians is not distributed evenly.
The report notes five states where the physician shortage is most likely to hit, based on data from The Senior List. Here are the top five states where a physician shortage is considered likely:
- Wyoming
- Montana
- Mississippi
- Oklahoma
- Arkansas
I would agree with that. The difference is, California is actively promoting socialism, and has the highest tax rate in the entire union, supposedly to pay for... among other things..... health care. California has a massive government run health system, supposedly paid for by those insane taxes they have.
And yet..... they have the same or worse problems with having doctors that other states, without the insane taxes, have.
Now if you want to look at why there are doctor shortages generally.... it's real easy. Medicare. That's the reason. Medicare does not pay doctors enough money for the treatment they give. So the result, like any other socialized system, is a shortage.
That's how that works. That's why the more socialized the system gets, the bigger the problems are. That's why the ACA didn't result in Affordable Care.... instead it resulted in clinics refusing to take Medicare patients.
Mayo Clinic’s Sad Statement on Healthcare in America
A person in their billing department told me most of Rochester’s doctors now refuse Medicare patients.
Socialized care at it's best.
You want to have tons of doctors show up? Eliminated medicare, and move to a free market system. When doctors can make money at their job, they'll do it.
