The shortage of primary care physicians could easily be addressed by opening the borders to foreign doctors but I understand the doctor's unions isn't too keen about it and neoliberals only want to open borders to capital and goods, not labor. So much for the "free market".

 

I've actually advocated liberalizing the health care market quite a bit before - and don't think that anyone working within it should have the government jacking up their wages.

 

As a class doctors are no different than anyone else, and if they can profit by constraining the supply of physicians - as a class they'll do so.

 

I'm all for eliminating barriers that are designed to keep qualified foreign doctors from practicing in the US, and for maximizing price transparency in medicine in general.
