Every single hospital, clinic, dispensary, consult, pharmacy, etc will have multiple-squares-long queues of people who has been letting their problems fester for not being able to pay it.

It will become obvious that the medical infraestructure is deficient.

And of course, libs will froth in rage. Chuds too but who cares about them.

    With the 40 hour work week (really it should be less, but lets just say for now), and a good chunk of that being administrative/record keeping/keeping up on doctor news and stuff, say like 5 hour long appointments per day. So 25/week. 100/month. 1000/year, if we are throwing in a decent amount of vacation time. But people are probably gonna see their doctors more than once a year if they are normally healthy, even. Let alone if someone gets really sick, or has some chronic disease. Or what if a bunch of people get sick at once. So 1 doctor could see 500 people on a regular basis. Which is about right, probably. Like, you would want your doctor to have appointments open, typically, within a month.

    ...

    and the actual answer is:

    Physicians per 10,000 People: 81.9 (2017), so 10,000 people / 81.9 doctors or 1 doctor / 122 people.

    damn, and I thought I was being overly generous with scheduling and vacation time. :amerikkka:
