"As doctors get paid more fairly, as insurance companies lose their current control over dictating the practice of medicine, there will be more doctors."


Who are insurance companies going to lose their control over dictating the practice of medicine to?

Doctors. Right now, insurance companies control what care you get, via what they will reimburse you and your doctor for.

Your doctor is limited in his treatment options, because insurance companies say, "the standard treatment for X is Y, and that's what we will pay for". If your doctor wants to do something different, you have to pay full freight for it, and patients can't afford that.
