They control certifying medical schools. It's incredibly difficult and expensive for a university to add one. Less medical schools less medical students less doctors.

evilweasel posted:The issue there is a pretty complicated issue of how the appropriations were done. It is well within the majority's power to defund something without abolishing it, They can't do that to almost all of Obamacare because that has guaranteed funding not subject to the annual appropriations process. The issue is whether those cost-sharing subsidies are or are not subject to annual appropriation (basically, if it's a drafter fuckup that somehow they weren't included in the mandatory spending). Dems, like you said, would be helping out republicans since if the exchanges collapse under their watch, they will be blamed. I don't really have any interest in giving them anything in return for that. I'd almost rather let them fail. Also, I don't think the health care wars will end during our lifetimes.

It is not in their political advantage to do it, but I'm not a republican who believes political advantage should trump heathcare for americans. It's a mild loss of political advantage in exchange for a major benefit to the American people.

Lightning Lord posted:How do they do this? Lobby for harsh academic requirements and competitiveness in medical school? Make it hard for foreign doctors to get certified? They control certification for med schools and residency programs so they can dictate the number of new MDs graduating each year. On one hand labor unions are cool and good, on the other it increases cost of healthcare and reduces access. American doctors are paid way more and there are fewer of them per capita than in any other developed nation. Especially with boomers aging we're going to need more doctors so at some point we'll have to significantly increase MD graduation rates and doctors will take a pay cut.

Rand Paul's demands: https://www.paul.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/HealthCareReformLetter.pdf Short version: 1a) Doesn't seem crazy, let people form group plans on their own. 1b) Strikes me as disguised craziness, letting groups self-insure strikes me as a good way to make sure they can't actually cover poo poo. 1c) Complete craziness, abolish regulations on group plans. 2) Gut all ACA payments to insurers for the individual market. Basically, destroy it. 3) Make the subsidies non-refundable (i.e. no poors) and only paid with your refund instead of throughout the year (the "advanced" bit, i.e. no poors, nobody without enough savings to prepay the entire premiums and get reimbursed at the end of the year instead of the subsidy going direct to insurers so you don't have to front the money). 4) Let insurers impose a waiting period but don't mandate it. Seems reasonable on the surface but I'm pretty sure it would be gamed to poo poo to end pre-existing condition coverage. Number 3 is an absolute deal-breaker. You might notice that the subsidies for people without a lot of money only apply if...you have a lot of money. So basically they become a trust fund baby entitlement and nothing else.
