We did this little blog post not long ago that still has me thinking: https://theinsurancemom.com/aca-woes-hospitals-and-docs-feel-it-too/
Alan Katz said something really interesting about the shortage of doctors in the USA.
“The shortage of American doctors is something that predates the ACA. It’s easy to blame the ACA for every ill in America’s health care system. The fact is–the generation of doctors that are retiring is larger than the generation of doctors coming out of medical schools. Meanwhile, there’s an increasing demand for doctors as more Americans become insured (since insured consumers see their doctor more often). The primary care physician crisis began before President Obama was ever elected, and it will continue for a lot of reasons.”
Found this very helpful and insightful. What are your thoughts?
