I just did the math on how many patients each and every doctor in the US would have to take on for free if we were going to deal with the millions of people who are uninsured by expecting doctors to donate their services.

If we were going to expect doctors providing services for free to be our solution to the uninsured in this country, each doctor in the US would have to take on seven patients whose care they would provide for free.

The other problem is that even if someone could get all of their care donated to them by a doctor, that wouldn't pay for the tests, medications, hospitalizations, and other treatments that they might need, none of which anyone could expect would be donated by the people who provide those services.
