Re: US healthcare system
just because something is hard to do does not mean its nto worth doing. do u know the change in number of docs graduated from US unis in 1970s, and 1980s and now? clearly there is an issue
nope, just have more med schools
its the entire medical establishment, which is overpriced, costs of tests, medicines, diocs, nurses, u name it.
No, thats not what I am saying, thats what you are hearing. I simply said, allow more physicians to practice. The limitations on number of residencies is one issue, and if you go back to the whoel issue of more teaching hospitals and more med schoosl that is looking at the same point. There clearly is an issue witrh supply and demand, u can only decrease demand so much, so u have to increase the supply.
well lets call it medical messup that we have right now, when their actions increase costs of medical industry then they are part and parcel of the issue, just like teh artificial measured to keep physician supplies low and thus wages high.
i know where u get your figures from, and teh same place had the strategies proposed by AMA.
clearly there is an issue with AMA stance. i would let others read it and decide what gaps they see here
