Doctor Shortage and Uneven Distribution Reported by GAO
A GAO study finds the United States faces a nationwide doctor shortage plus serious maldistribution. If all doctors were placed where needed, 50 000 more physicians would be required to reach adequate care, with rural and inner city areas most affected. The civilian doctor to population ratio has improved but remains uneven across states, from 198 per 100 000 in New York to lower in many regions. Alaska specifically lacks doctors despite national gains.
