Government Health Insurance Will Not Create New Doctors

Government Health Insurance Will Not Create New Doctors


The law of Supply and Demand applies to health as it does to commodities. Perhaps even more so. This is a dirty secret the politicians never mention.

You may tell the public you will increase their ability to get more medical care. But to do so, you must also increase the number of doctors, their facilities and their aides.

The last I checked, it took maybe ten years to educate and train a bright young man or woman willing to work 24/7 to become a doctor. At a cost of at least $100,000 tuition.

In addition, the government health care sponsors are compounding the health insurance finagle, in trying to cut health costs by reducing doctor income. This would make it tougher to reduce the investment or acquired debt of becoming a doctor.

Nobody mentions training new doctors at government expense and if it ever happened, why train so hard for so little compensation?
