A single payer Nationalized Healthcare system will eventually result in rationed care. Currently there are 250 million Americans with health insurance. According to the National Center for Health Studies there are under 1 million physicians in the United States or about 1 physician for every 330 people. Most of these physicians are located in the Northeast states, about 4 per 1,000 people, while the Western states only average about 2 per 1,000 people. Coupled with the scarceness of physicians is the fact that 65% of them are 45 years of age or older. Adding 50 million people to the physicians patient lists will mean, on average, each physician will have to care for an additional 200 patients. Most of these physicians will retire in 20 years or less. The proposed healthcare plan will cut payments to physicians for services rendered. Will any students want to enter the medical profession, work for less money and owe a massive amount of student loans? Probably not. A shortage of physicians together with rising cost and more patients will result in a reduction of services available to patients. An Administrator, not physicians, will decide which types of treatment will be given. Are you ready?
