JUST LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS

In America we currently have a nationwide nurse shortage and a doctor shortage in rural areas throughout the country. Additionally, hospitals and clinics are closing in far greater numbers than those that are opening.

Given that reality, how is it possible to add 48 million new people to the number of medically insured in this country and not have long waiting periods and rationed care? In other words, how do the same number of medical professionals and medical facilities, already overloaded, serve an additional 48 million folks?
