I doubt if healthcare will function in this country if these positions are as vacant as the nurses and physisians. I'd love to see some real empirical numbers on this situation nationwide. Boomers--that demographic bubble like a pig in a python-- are approaching retirement and old age. The U.S. refuses to engage the healthcare reality like every other first world country has, and instead of offering universal care of any kind we continue to move toward more exclusionary care. And the annual rationing of visas for professional technical workers are gone the first day of release every year. We will either hit a brick wall very fast, or we will all be flying to India for healthcare in the coming years, and think it's a great deal. Someone should start a national organization for the small percentage of the US population who actually see things like this and want to do something about it (as opposed to denial and obfuscation) so we all don't feel alienated, something like "SANE US.ORG." All non-members are immediately and suitably identified.
