Over 3.5 million people have lost their health care coverage in just one month since ObamaCARE’s failure of a website went in. That number could swell to as many as 129 million when ObamaCARE is fully implemented over the next several years. But there’s another crisis on the horizon thanks to ObamaCARE, a doctor short. By the year 2025, there is expected to be a doctor shortage between 52,000 and 130,000 primary care doctors.
Right now, there is already a shortage of 20,000 doctors nationwide, and with healthcare expansion, plus increasing population, there will be a need for about 52,000 primary care doctors by 2025.
This while only 20 percent of new doctors become primary care physicians and the new landscape has older doctors bailing, Brennan reported.
“Doctors are planning to retire. Anybody who is anywhere near retirement age is talking about retirement. … There’s just too much going on,” said Dr. Sam Unterricht of the New York State Medical Society.
Others fear that centralizing medical care will squeeze out small independent doctor groups, groups that insurers claim are more expensive, in favor of large centralized care.
