Why doesn't government intervene? Say, by handing out green cards on arrival to every doc from a certain list of "rich" countries, filling the void very quickly? Or even by making medical education a state monopoly and leave it up to the state to decide who to license?
- wobbly_bush 7y agoThe recent Indian government has been doing something loosely on these lines - drastically increasing the number of student capacity in public medical colleges [1] [1] https://www.livemint.com/news/india/15-700-more-mbbs-seats-soon-in-75-new-colleges-5-things-to-know-1567049776772.html https://www.livemint.com/news/india/15-700-more-mbbs-seats-s...
- conanbatt 7y agoYou mean stop intervening. The state is acting by not allowing the immigration of doctors and not recognizing education abroad
- anovikov 7y agoWhy don't people protest? I mean, the U.S. is a democratic country and has a strong system designed to lobby for or against anything. Most people except docs themselves should be concerned with this, why is there no lobbying movement to change things? It should be a no-brainer to fund.
- tutuca 7y agoOh no! you said goverment intervention!! Burn the heretic! (I'm joking but I guess that's why you got so many downvotes)
- pc86 7y agoThey got downvoted because their comment shows an impressive lack of knowledge on how the system actually works.
