One not-so-inspiring comment, though: yes, more doctors are needed, yes, more spots are opening up in med schools, more jobs will be available for med school graduates, more patients are going to become insured under Obamacare — BUT since jack-squat is being done about proportionally improving reimbursement for all those doctors (new and old) and alleviating the massive debt which med students have to incur in order to become underpaid doctors, it’s still going to be tough to keep those doctors in business. Because it IS a business.

The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.

Honestly, nevermind the low price, if seeing doctors was this logistically easy I’d have way better health. With adhd/anxiety/depression, seeing doctors is usually just too complicated and takes too much energy to deal with.
