A Response To “U.S. Faces Shortage of Doctors”
This is what you get when you have people who have no business determining health care( that is lawyers and haha community organizers, and not doctors) determining how healthcare is run. That 1997 provision was spearheaded by none other than Hillary Clinton during her health care overhaul attempt while wife of the then President Bill Clinton !! To put it bluntly…it’s a stupid useless provision. As one of the consequences of this provision, once a person finishes a Medical residency, it makes it very difficult to enter into another residency dog training advice. E.g. a anesthesiologist cannot go back and do a Family Practice residency later. With a shortage in primary care physicians, reversal of this provision would help ease the problem. In addition to allowing more residency training spots it would also allow existing physicians to retrain into another much needed discipline.
