Good luck finding a doctor under ObamaCare.
New York and most other states already face a shortage of physicians and won’t have enough primary-care MDs to serve the millions of newly insured patients, data reviewed by The Post reveal.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah admitted the shortage presents a “potential for a real crisis” in medically underserved areas when the Affordable Care Act kicks in. He expects a million more New Yorkers to obtain insurance cards.
But whether the cards will provide them access to timely health care is in serious doubt.
“We are short 1,100 primary-care doctors across the state of New York today. Now imagine another million people flooding the system. Where are they going to get primary care?” Shah told the state Minority Health Council. “That is a potential for a real crisis.”
[...]
A study by the Kaiser Family Health Foundation found that only 40 percent of primary-care needs are being met in New York because of the shortage, among the lowest rates in the country.
In New Jersey, only about half the need is being met. In Connecticut, it’s just 15 percent.Read the full story HERE.
And this was only New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
