By 2020 the U.S. will be short 91,000 doctors. There's no way we can educate enough doctors to make up that shortfall, and other countries are far worse off.

Many health care providers, particularly physicians in rural and urban areas, are leaving the Government programs because of inadequate reimbursement rates.

However, many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance.

Many of us are alarmed at the skyrocketing cost of medical care, including patients, who are the consumers. However, medical malpractice is not the reason for these increasing costs.

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

There is a shortage of doctors, and the American Medical Association is aiming to keep it that way.

I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.

When I went to law school, which I put myself through for $100,000 dollars of debt, I didn't expect anybody to pay for my health insurance, which I had none of. No health insurance.

A transfer of money should never be involved in this profound situation. Although illness is profound, too, but medicine's a business today. It's a business.
