SHORTAGE: This may
hurt. The planned expansion of insurance coverage under the
health-care law could mean a shortfall of M.D.s in some parts of
the country—and there’s not much we can do in the short term,
experts say. But the problem isn’t new. Even without the Affordable
Care Act, America was projected to be about 100,000 doctors short
by 2025. Health-care experts have said that the new law will
exacerbate the “invisible problem” of dwindling docs, arguing that
while patients will still get the care they need, the process to do
so will become more arduous.
