<p>as a physician, I will just say that it takes 6 weeks to see my specialty in this large city(9th largest in US); the demand by baby boomer americans for health care is insatiable(and they want it for free). the demand for healthcare by the baby boomers will continue to expand(and curmudgeon has it right in his assessment) and we baby boom doctors(40% of the total in the US) are looking to retire ourselves just when the demand will be highest.</p>
