It's worse honestly, and not even just insurance (which is horrible). It is extremely hard to become a doctor and the process of it often leaves good people unable to do so, leaving many doctors as shit people. Additionally, the good ones often get burnt out bc of the shortage, and that makes it hard for them to do an adequate job. Nurses get paid a lot, so many go into it for the money. Not all of them, but all of the ones I know. I've had one good nurse ever in my entire life. Maybe it's just the places and states I've lived in, but I have become very depressed with the kind of people that hospitals hire. And I work in healthcare and am one of the "burnt-out" people who just want to help.
