The maldistribution of doctors in both location and specialty is a ...


horror we need to confront now and can't keep letting slide into the future. When I was an undergrad 45 years ago, there already was hand-wringing in VA about how there were at least 10 (or more?) counties that didn't have any doctors at all. The closest to C'ville was Goochland. There will always be more money in trying to eliminate the last zit in Larchmont that in primary care in Appalachia. What ideas (like zeroing out their student loan debt?) can we use to provide an incentive to go to underserved areas and understaffed specialties at least for some period of time? Pro bono health fairs (like we've seen several times on 60 Minutes) will help for a couple of weekends but not for a couple of years.
