The US graduates about 17,364 MDs and about 4,773 DOs. Yes, India graduates about 6,000 more doctors, but India's population is 3.9 times as large as the US population. US per capita GDP is 33.5 times India's per capita GDP ($49,965 versus $1,489).
The level of medical care offered to Indian visitors and medical tourists is the crème de la crème of their medical system.
Health care in the US hasn't seen a free market since the 19th century. The chances that we'll go back to 19th century freedoms is closer to nil.
Since the US spends twice both as a % of GDP and in $ terms than any other country, and ranks 51st in life expectancy things can clearly improve. And they're going in the wrong direction under Obamacare. But Indian health care spending benchmarks aren't very likely in the US. Who would ever become a doctor? Who would ever stay a doctor?
Don’t need to go back to the 19th century—simply before WW2 would suffice.
