Government promises free doctors for everyone - but the NYT says there aren't enough doctors - HOW CAN THAT BE????

DOCTOR SHORTAGE LIKELY TO WORSEN WITH HEALTH LAW

By ANNIE LOWREY and ROBERT PEAR

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — In the Inland Empire, an economically depressed region in Southern California, President Obama’s health care law is expected to extend insurance coverage to more than 300,000 people by 2014. But coverage will not necessarily translate into care: Local health experts doubt there will be enough doctors to meet the area’s needs. There are not enough now.

Other places around the country, including the Mississippi Delta, Detroit and suburban Phoenix, face similar problems. The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that in 2015 the country will have 62,900 fewer doctors than needed. And that number will more than double by 2025, as the expansion of insurance coverage and the aging of baby boomers drive up demand for care. Even without the health care law, the shortfall of doctors in 2025 would still exceed 100,000.

How is that POSSIBLE? Everyone knows that government bureaucrats have special powers to coordinate goods and services over time that average mortals simply do not possess.
