And everyone gets to just blame "JC's," rather than face the real problem....

What is the real problem(s)?

Central California is facing a dire shortage of primary care physicians.
Many people blame a system that reimburses physicians/medical facilities in rural areas at a lower rate for medicare/medical services.

What if a POTUS were to declare the shortage of healthcare personnel a national emergency and fund medical schools, such that healthcare workers could afford to practice in rural regions with lower pay? The loans a young doctor/nurse shoulders is crippling.

What is the real problem(s)?
