They’d just pass a law stating that doctors must treat elected officials and their families.
The doctors will just leave. They already are. https://newrepublic.com/article/176854/republican-red-states-brain-drain
They’ll just remove or loosen the licensing and education requirements to become a doctor. They had janitors and high school dropouts serving as teachers - why not have chiropractors or Christian Scientists perform surgery?
I mean, it’ll result in deaths so there’s that outcome. 🤷🏻♂️
