We have a ton of specialists here. Again, maybe not in our rural areas but in most urban/suburban areas there are no shortages. And those doctors aren't going to go away (despite what the scare tactics of the right would have people believe). If anything maybe more people will feel compelled to go into specialties to fill those gaps if there is more demand (Free market, right?).
