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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a shortage of doctors, and the American Medical Association is aiming to keep it that way.
The World Health Organization did a world health report in 2006. In the whole world about 60 countries are in dire situation in terms of having enough doctors. And many of these countries are in Sub-Saharan Africa. You know, that part of the world alone needs one million doctors.
Without true medical liability reform, our doctors will continue to leave, and young doctors coming out of medical school $100,000 to $200,000 in debt will not be able to afford such onerous costs.
America is facing a looming shortage of doctors, nurses, and physicians' assistants.
The fact of the matter is right now politicians and insurance companies are making decisions. We're saying we want doctors to be making decisions. And I think that will lead to a higher-quality, lower-cost system over time.
Unless physicians stand together to fight threats and injustices, our practices cannot remain viable in the future.
Look, the, the - this country has not lived within its means for a very long time, and, and the truth is we're going to have to take our medicine.
For the amount of money that the country is going to spend this year on health care, you can go out and hire a doctor for every seven families in the US and pay the doctor almost $230,000 a year to cover them.
One of the shortcomings of our medical system is that doctors have very little time with their patients.
I think we're rapidly approaching the day where medical science can keep people alive in hospitals, hooked up to tubes and things, far beyond when any kind of quality of life is left at all.
