If there is an overwhelming quantity and quality of physicians begging for more work, Massachusetts health care plan would be wonderful. However, this is not going to happen in our country. We have fewer physicians going into general practice, and the enrollment in medical schools is down. Young potential doctors are seeing the writing on the wall, and don't want to subject themselves into being government employees. Original Medicare provides patients the opportunity to pick their doctor of choice. For thoise unable or unwilling to pay the co-pays, there is Medicare supplements. For those who can't afford either, there is Medicare Advantage. Give the masses unrestricted access, and they will be lining up at clinics with runny noses and chapped lips.
