Comments on: 45% Of Doctors Will Quit? http://rjjrdq.com/2009/09/16/45-of-doctors-will-quit/ Still good, still bad, and still absurd...

Then they'll fund substandard "doctor mills" and churn out unqualified practioners for their health care plan. Not to mention they've already floated the idea of having nurses and physicians assistants doing some of the work that doctors do now. It all adds up to lower quality care.

It is feared that the doctors will go back to private practice. Recently, doctors in private practice (specialty fields) have turn away veterans because they don't trust the VA to pay them. It dont take a rocket scientist to figure out that with out doctors there will be no healthcare as we know it. This is also a great concern at VA Hospitals.

But still, even if no doctors quit, there would still be a shortage. As far as education, I agree, the price is high. At the same time, there can be benefits to high prices. Another conversation though. I did pose it as a question Locke. But still, even if no doctors quit, there would still be a shortage. As far as education, I agree, the price is high.

How many times do people consider doing something and not end up doing it simply because it would cause a major shift in their lifestyle? Not to mention the case study they point to in Massachusetts didn't include a public option. Either way, perhaps the real solution is encouraging the education system to turn out more doctors. Or perhaps reducing the ridiculous price of becoming a medical doctor. Regardless of the healthcare system of the future, it is clear more doctors will be needed.

But then there will be less tax revenue. That could be a possibility, after all aren’t people bad for the environment? But then there will be less tax revenue.

They know that this could be disaster but they don't care as long as they have control. Government control is the goal.
