A physician surplus?

A refreshing take. The argument here is that there are not enough physicians in primary care:

Increasing medical school enrollments isn’t going to solve the problem. You’ll just end up with proportionally more cardiologists, more gastroenterologists, more cardiac surgeons to flood an already supesaturated metropolitan market. Until we compensate primary care/family practice in such a way wo make it financially appealing to medical students, there’s still going to be physician shortages in South Dakota and Southern Ohio and Rural Kansas.
