- jpk2f2 5y agoI assume they were referring to doctor groups such as the AMA which actively work to limit the number of doctors.
- dlp211 5y agoExcept this isn't really true. While it is true that the AMA lobbied to reduce positions in the early 2000's due to an projected surplus, once it became apparent that there was actually a shortage, the AMA reversed its position and now lobbies for more positions.
- namelessoracle 5y agoThere's all kinds of hoops to become a Doctor that aren't really necessary for most people to get the healthcare they need. Those organizations help foster that.
- mechanical_bear 5y agoWhat sort of hoops are unnecessary in your view?
