1. If 500,000 more people have insurance, more doctors will come to PA.

This thinking is so out of touch. One Repub says that poor people shouldn't receive federally funded medical assistance, because there are not enough doctors to meet all of their needs. If you have 500,000 additional people in your state who can pay for health care, it will help to attract more health care professionals to PA. Conversely, if a state like Maryland has a much higher percentage of its population with health insurance than PA., doctors will naturally be attracted to settle in Maryland instead. The nurses and other health care professionals will naturally follow wherever the jobs are offered.
