Hi Guest, check out the latest SDN article: Let’s Talk About Your Financial Health

Message: <blockquote data-quote="platon20" data-source="post: 8453350" data-attributes="member: 228168">Atul Gawande wrote an article in the New Yorker about McAllen Texas and the overutilization of health resources.  Apparently there are thousands and thousands of doctors in McAllen running up healthcare bills by scoping everybody and everything that comes into their practice.This is McAllen, bumblestick, Texas ya'll.  This isnt New York, or Los Angeles, or Chicago.  Before Gawande wrote that article, nobody had ever heard of McAllen before.  If there are that many doctors running around McAllen doing scores of CABGs and colonoscopies, how many more of them are there in the major metro areas? My point about all this is that there is NO doctor shortage.  There's certainly no shortage in McAllen, which means that there's likely no shortage in 95% of the areas of the United States.The doctor shortage is a HUGE myth, and you guys have bitten it hook, line, and sinker.</blockquote>
