Well, it’s actually the generalist physician shortage.
That’s a profoundly troubling oversight, as any attempt to cover the uninsured will stretch the already strained primary care system.

Some 20 percent of doctors say they will quit practicing medicine if universal health-care insurance coverage is implemented under the next president . . .. . . Among nearly 1,400 doctors who answered the survey, 63 percent said they would ‘continue practicing like they do today,’ 11 percent would change occupations and 9 percent said they would retire.
