Yet another reason we should not make health care public. The reason for the shortage of doctors is that they dont make much in japan because their pay is controlled soley by the government since the government is the lone health insurance provider, meaning that if they say no, that's not enough, they wont get any work. This while still having to go through all of that schooling to become a doctor makes it less appealing. You can cry me the "some people cant afford to pay their medical bills" speil, but Id much rather be alive and worried about paying my bills then dead because there arent enough doctors to help me. Regardless of if you have insurance or not, if you have life threatening injuries, you will be taken in by a hospital.
