- I'm not willing to lower the quality of physicians. Other studies have shown that the lack of upcoming doctors is due to fewer people willing to put up with the insane stress levels for mediocre pay. The stereotype of a doctor heading out at noon for an afternoon of golf are largely over for nearly all specialties. Frankly, there are many jobs that pay better with less stress and less personal responsibility.
This assumes that the things being done now are meaningfully contributing to the quality of physicians vs various proposals.
It's also probably a mistake to measure the quality of the doctor vs the quality of the care that is delivered. More doctors that are less stressed and can spend more time on each patient could easily outperform a smaller group of "better" doctors.
