        @WSJ @hughhewitt with a reduced supply of "machines" (doctors) to produce finished goods (well patients), the only result is longer queues.

        @N987PL @wsj @hughhewitt Adding more patients to an already taxed system only exacerbates the queuing inevitability by the way.

        @WSJ doctors only work as a specialist anyway. Only way to be in general practice is concierge medicine. To much red tape / delayed payment

        @WSJ A healthy population wouldn't need the added physicians. But, the USSA does. Have to admire your version of "failed" socialism.

        @WSJ Actually the shortage will hit by mid 2015 as Obamacare kicks in 2014 and doctors are currently planning their three year exit strategy

        @WSJ I find PAs very helpful. I used to use a house call service in NYC staffed by PAs instead of going to the ER. Much more effective.

        @Ellen_Lee3 @wsj no doubt that PAs are helpful. MDs r heart surgeons and nephrologists and oncologists and anesthesiologists-also helpful

        @docroland That is true and I see a fair number of physicians on a monthly basis given my health. The PA I saw kept me from ER a lot.

        @Ellen_Lee3 we're being warned-if 0.5% of the 90K shortage are oncologists, we'll be down 450 cancer doctors-it takes 10 yrs to train
