I am all for increasing and simplifying immigration.

It’s not going too far, it just rearranges the problem. More doctors in rural america means less doctors in urban america. No incentives for living anywhere. Let the doctors decide where they want to live.

Using your definition people have live next door to hospitals still have unequal access to healthcare compared to people that 2 doors down. You are drawing an arbitrary line here.

There are more qualifications to being a doctor than just being a human. Obviously not everyone can be a doctor. I don’t want some one with Parkinsons doing surgery on me even though they are human.

There is no way to keep all doctors equidistant from everyone at all times. Doctors are free to move, Patients are free to move.

A single-payer is going to complicate the tax code, there is no way around it.

How many more people could a doctor treat if they set up shop in populated urban areas than if they opened up an office in a rural community?

Everyone has the same access to the same doctors. Drive your ass into town and get in the back in the back of the line.  

Since when is life easy?

Urban areas have more doctors than rural areas, which is still not enough to satisfy the healthcare in those areas.

It’s not giving a crap about all over their citizens. Just the rural ones. Why should they be encouraging doctors to work in rural america when there are just as many if not more untreated urban residents.

It is meant in the context of “nobody is hoarding access to healthcare”

Yes.

Nobody is hoarding access to doctors.

I am talking more about Marxism that falls in line with Khmer Rouge. Where they forced everybody out of the city into the fields in hopes of creating an “Agrarian Utopia”. I hear “Agragrian Utopia” when we talk about forcing doctors to live in rural Missouri against their will.

It’s ok, we are living in Trump’s America, we don’t actually need to pay for things. We can cut everyone’s taxes to zero, and give out an infinite amount of welfare.

How would subsidizing doctors who go work in rural america be fair to urban citizens? Aren’t Urbanites in need of more doctors as well?

Nobody’s hoarding anything. The doctors can choose where they want to live.

There is no such thing as free med school. You don’t have to make the students pay, but somebody has to pick up the tab for the electricity they use, for the teachers salaries, for the computers, for the lab coats, for the rent on the buldings they use. None of that stuff is free. So who is paying for that stuff? 

The point is there aren’t unlimited resources on the planet. And how much are you willing to devote to a person unwilling to help themselves?
