[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote] 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] The demographics alone - the massive cohort of aging Baby Boomers -[b] should indicate that we would need A LOT more doctors and nurses moving forward.[/b] I've always heard lots of rumblings that the AMA works a lot behind the scenes to prevent the opening of new medical schools and creation of more residency spots. In fact, something like 2000 medical school graduates each year do not get a spot in residency and thus can't complete their medical training. On top of that, they owe hundreds of thousands in student loans. It's insane.[/quote] Which is why it was bad news when Trump derided importing doctors and med students from other countries.[/quote] Especially considering foreign doctors are more willing to serve rural areas.[/quote]
