[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Healthcare systems in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and Florida are on the verge of collapse.[/quote]

This is so sad and preventable.[/quote]

They’ve been like that for decades to be fair. Middle America was warned that closing hospitals and de-prioritizing healthcare left and right would bite them in the butt. They just thought it didn’t matter.

This is the result of Clinton and being successfully lobbied by the American medical association to limit the number of spaces in US medical schools back in the '90s. The AMA was afraid of a glut of physicians which would keep salaries low in their opinion. Clinton's bad decision to go with their recommendation is now in full effect.[/quote]
never heard of this.  Source?

that's ... interesting given how HRC was pushing for ACA-like changes back in the 90s.   They would've realized that more people with insurance = more people needing to see doctors. = more doctors needed.[/quote]
It’s not true.

Clinton wanted more generalist doctors vs specialists because it was largely general doctors that medical schools weren’t graduating enough of.

And it’s not Clinton’s fault that hospitals have basically turned into local monopolies and have acted like the businesses that they are and have closed underperforming (money-wise, that is) hospitals and clinics. If we’re blaming any party here, it’s likely to be the GOP. Anything is okay if you’re making a couple million bucks, even when it means that rural people have to drive 200 miles for regular checkups and emergency care.[/quote]
