Obama: "We'll pay you doctors half of the fair market price for your labor. That'll save us huge amounts of money so we can balance the budget. AND we'll make you spend untold hours filling out our forms."

That's sure to fix any Supply and Demand imbalance. Price controls are known to work every time when you need to supply shortages. (\snark)

Like many people said yesterday, he should take the $1,000 / hour he's going to pay the Harmons for golf lessons and buy some basic economics lessons.

There are some good folks in Buffalo, but on a scale of places to live given the weather and the oppressive NY State government, no surprise that people with in-demand skills would sprint for the exits.

10 yrs from now the “progressives” will have the same wonderment about the whole United States. I expect the best and brightest of the med field to set up shop offshore.

I grew up in WNY and feel I've come home when driving through there. The school systems in the 50's and 60's were superior.

Would I move back there today? No way.

The conquering peoples (Third World people)through their masters are systematically dismantiling the system put in place by those who founded and once governed our nation.

We who are being mastered must learn to endure the sting of the new masters whip; i.e. Assaults, wealth confiscation(sack),insults, poverty, rape and lastly the serious health problems flowing from inferiority.

Two words: Pakistani doctors. We can’t afford to educate doctors in our schools, because they will have to charge more due to their student loan debt. So we’ll import them, after having been given a subsidized education by their own country. Of course, 96% of Pakistanis hate us now because we drone bomb them and their families, so the quality of care may go down slightly.

As WNY's population becomes poorer and older -- a direct result of the state's liberal politics -- doctors find it harder and harder to make a living. A substantial portion of their practice becomes Medicare and Medicaid recipients with the attendant low-reimbursement rates.

Liberals think it's great that everyone can have health care; they never gave a moment's thought to having the doctors to provide it.

“WNY suffering from loss of doctors”

Job opportunity.

New York needs more than 1,200 physicians across the state, especially in rural areas

The lefties don't want people living in rural areas anyway - they are more difficult to control and indoctrinate. They are apt to develope regressive traits such as thinking indepenently, praying, flying the American flag, owning guns and believing in the US Constitution.

As King Obama pointed out: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them".

It's much better to have them nove to cities where they can be closely watched and taught to progress beyond their old anti-social ways.

Doctors worth their salt should move their practice away from liberal States or retire early. Starve the beast.

Upstate NY is dying. Their are no opportunities for good, honest people. The Democrats have bled the area dry and left the people with a crushing tax burden and oppressive regulations.

People can't sell their homes. Most homes sell for about half their appraised tax value.

Upstate NY has gone from a beautiful, scenic area to an oppressive dysfunctional socialist state the crushes the human spirit. Those with ability and ambition leave. Those who stay struggle through live a miserable, depressed existence.
