Primary care, supply and demand

Economics 101 doesn’t apply to health care today:

Primary care supply is down. In a market economy, when demand outstrips supply, cost of goods goes up AND you increase supply to meet that demand. Supply ain’t goin’ up. The supply is all going into specialties which generate incomes of 2-10 times higher than primary care. It is the fault of false economies. Socialist policies. Government policies. A fixed and market unfriendly Medicare policy followed by all other third party payers.

Economics 101 has left the system.

And the punch line:

This is government run health care. Here. Today. Now.

And the scary thing is, they are only running 1/2 of it.

Imagine running 100%.
