doc bottle neck

 WACKO Rx:

" lets build more  SOUTH-HEMI 
 doctors for export
            back north here "


  the brain drain is already working pretty swell.....

nyt:

" 25 percent of all doctors 
        in the United States


 
"A large majority - 60 percent -
 come from the developing world"


     now since 
  local output is throttled:

" as the demand for doctors 
   has grown significantly
 in the United States 
 medical school enrollment has barely budged"

 today
there are


 "The annual number of medical school graduates
 has remained almost constant since 1980,
 despite a population increase of 50 million "

 "Over that  period, 
only one new medical school 
              has opened its doors"

like refineries and power plants 

 nice ARTIFICIAL   SCARCITY bonus 
            for existing MDs


 

"The Council on Graduate Medical Education
 now recommends that medical schools
 increase enrollment by 15 percent 
          over the next decade" 

TOO SLOW AND TOO COSTLY 

why not export the capital 
to india and china
to build some for profit med schools there 

THAT MEETS THE GOAL:

" new medical schools geared toward 
training general practitioners to  increase
 the supply of doctors 
           at a relatively low cost "

AT AN EVEN LOWER RELATIVE COST
