Doctor Shortage

The doctor shortage has been caused by Congress, in an idiotic bid to control costs.

Last year, there were 16,721 fewer primary-care doctors than needed
in inner city and rural areas, according to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Residencies, the hospital based-training doctors undergo before they can practice medicine on their own, have been capped by Congress at about 90,000 since 1997 as a way to curb rising medical costs.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? CONGRESS DECIDES HOW MANY RESIDENCIES HOSPITALS CAN HAVE? Why does it take Bloomberg so long to report this?

Yesterday, I saw some Lyndon LaRouche commie nutbags with signs saying "Stop Hitler Health Care" and pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache. At first I was outraged that Hitler's evil was being dismissed with this comparison. But now maybe I'm not so sure they're overreacting.
