[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame the government for having too few seats at residency programs. We simply do not have enough doctors if everyone has access to healthcare. The system worked fine before, but only because so many people couldn’t afford to see doctors [/quote]

Before the ACA, the system was not working fine. Go back and read the media articles describing the acute issues people faced at the time.[/quote]

The ACA tried to fix problems, but as if often the case, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  ACA increased the amount of reporting, imposed onerous rules and regulations, and continues to reimburse less and less.  It has now added millions of new people to the system while the number of doctors stays the same.  It has blown up our entire healthcare system.

Doctors are fed up and are ditching all insurance, so now you have thousands and thousands of people paying out the a$$ for insurance they can’t even use anymore and are being asked to fork out thousands more for an exclusive membership just to keep docs on retainer.  It squeezes many more people towards the remaining docs that do take insurance, which are fewer and far between.  Just because you can look on your insurance website and find PCPs thst accept the insurance doesn’t mean you’ll get access. So many don’t even take new patients anymore, or it is impossible to schedule an appointment, rendering your insurance worthless.  Too bad for you if you don’t have an extra $2000+ per year per person in your household to pay for a membership fee.  You’re screwed.[/quote]
