Single payer = physician shortages

More evidence from Canada:

If you believe such shortages can’t happen in the United States, think again. Medicare already presides over a Byzantine system of price controls that it is planning to expand. This system has already created primary care shortages in many rural areas in this country, and its planned expansion will create more.

If the voters are foolish enough to bestow the presidency on a proponent of “single-payer” health care in 2008, a shortage of physicians is just one of the hardships they will receive for their trouble.
