I have proposed it many times, 1) as the eventual outcome of socialized medicine, and 2) Why not.
The idea is for the department of defense to define core curriculum for emergency room interns, define the training to become an emergency room doctor. And build two or three other medical ranks around that core. Then the department of defense hire them, like a Coast Guard adjunct force. Put a hundred thousand of these medical techs on reserve duty pay.
My guess is this socialism might work, it might actually force economies of scale on the most basic need, emergency room and urgent care, both already socialized. And I think it will feed talent into a secondary market of retail medicine.
The system will feed into the education system, creating a huge demand for basic American medical education across the globe, like the US military training is often sought after in foreign circles.
The US system will be called again and again for emergency deployment at natural disasters.
The narrow definition of emergency room medicine means a standard input and output model that socialism might be adept at.
Lower wages, enhanced retail medicine, economies on an already socialized sector, manufacturing economies from national product standardization, reduced burden on states by removing a common cost.
Simplifies Obamacare.
Obamacare would settle on insuring emergency room and urgent care on a federal level, call that the basic plan, free, like a cow drinking water. It is an economy of scale shared, especially by the veterans, but by default the basic insurance reduces all common, standard costs, shifting them onto Obamacare. But that is the idea of Socialism, run a government business, get economies of scale and make some money.
