In this episode of A Fresh Perspective with Jeff Charles, we dive into a critical issue that's been flying under the radar but affects all of us—the looming healthcare labor shortage. According to a recent report, the United States could face a shortage of over 100,000 healthcare workers by the end of the decade. But this crisis isn't just about a lack of nurses and doctors; there are deeper issues at play, including government policies that are making the problem much worse.
From the red tape nightmare of licensing laws in California to the growing population and lack of medical residency spots in Texas, this shortage is hitting certain states harder than others. We also take a look at how student debt is pushing doctors away from primary care and into higher-paying specialties, leaving rural areas across the country with "medical deserts." The situation is dire, and it’s only getting worse.
But what if there was a better way? In this episode, we explore how a free-market approach could be the key to solving America’s healthcare crisis. If you’re tired of the government and insurance companies standing between you and your doctor, this is the episode you don’t want to miss!
