Solving The Health Care Cost Crisis

This is how to do it: After Years of Quiet, Expecting a Boom in U.S. Medical Schools - NYTimes.com.

More physicians equals less cost; simple supply and demand. Of course, in the medical rackets, that is a hard one to pull off since the professional medical unions (the AMA et. al.) will resist any attempt to produce more practitioners since they also know the inevitable result. The medical rackets of late have pulled off additional scams by continually upping the educational requirements for certain activities and requiring supervision of practically everything by a whole chain of well-paid professionals. Their defense is, of course, "we're saving your life, buddy." Maybe so, but just as higher education has grown an entire caste of very high paid middle managers, middle middle mangers, and upper middle managers, where once there was one manager and a secretary, so has the medical profession grown an entire subsystem of personnel who must be managed, supervised, and accredited, all of which is sucking money out the direct care end of the medical food chain. Yeah but, "you don't want an incompetent, tech school doctor working on you, do you?" And what exactly does an Ivy League degree guarantee? For inspiration, look toward George Bush and Barack Obama .
