Inland Empire is nothing but old farts and left coast hillbillies. They don't call Fontana "Fontucky" for nothing. You'd have to offer free school just to get people out there.

Free (state-sponsored) medical school has been predicted for a few years now. It was inevitable.

We'll need a new, super-low grade physician to serve the Medicaid/BarryCare population.

The urge to specialize is overwhelming.

The government has been claiming to address the primary care problem since the Nixon administration.

We're about to add another tier to "chase the money" -- the concierge tier. Doctors will do their residencies on BarryCare patients. They'll be the human guinea pigs. Then the good ones will advance into private insurance practice. Then the best ones will advance once again to the concierge tier. At the concierge tier level, those docs won't even take insurance. They'll be cash up front.

Why not just more PA's?
