Add 10% to 15% more patients (or a great deal more, if you believe some of the figures for those currently uncovered) and there simply won’t be enough resources to meet the increase
The thing that has me more worried is not that you won’t be able to see a doctor because of more patients/ same amount of doctors, but that many will be forced (time constraints) to do quicky diagnostics and pass you off as okay becuase their waiting rooms are overflowing
Many, I suspect, will simply bail, making the situation even worse. Let’s face it - if you’ve been a practicing doctor for a while, early retirement is definitely an option. And it just may be worth rethinking that second sailboat in order to avoid putting up with the bullshit sure to arrive once an enormous crust of additional bureaucracy begins to form over their profession.
