Try the Old Fashioned Way
Obstacles for Obama's health reform: a shortage of primary care physicians. Obvious solution: supply and demand. Obvious, in that, that's how we solve the problem in every other market.
Where allowed to do so, walk-in clinics manned by nurses fill the void and the potential for handing off routine activities to physician assistants and paramedics has barely been tapped. Skilled personnel who treated our troops in the field aren't allowed to treat patients back home.
And when patients pay with their own money, they have no trouble finding physicians who help them lower both the time cost and the money cost of their care.
John, do you really expect the Obama health team to understand supply and demand?
As long as Medicare administers the prices of physician services all over the counrty,we will always have shortages and surpluses. How could it be otherwise?
