The presidential nominees both offer medical plans that could allow millions more Americans to seek medical care. But are the physicians prepared for this?

Even if a previously uninsured individual is able to obtain affordable health insurance, how long will he have to wait for an evaluation? Will the care patients receive be compromised by a surge of new patients?

While the Times Leader reports that Pennsylvanian doctors feel confident they can manage the patient load, this confidence stems from a recent increase of new medical professionals.

More doctors can surely treat more patients, but medical schools must be sure to maintain their current standards. The law of supply and demand may lead to mass production cars and cheap knock-off handbags, but that should never extend toward our society's health maintenance.

For sure, either candidate will need to revamp the current health care system to prevent clinics and medical professionals from becoming overwhelmed with paperwork. As the health insurance market is being reformed, other areas of the medical field should be reworked for efficiency.

Practices are in dire need of increasing their behind-the-scenes office staff to relieve the pressure from doctors and nurses. Surely, the reduction or simplification of medical billing paperwork and restrictions on malpractice lawsuits would ease strain on physicians.

While every citizen needs access to health insurance and medical care, the reform is pointless if the medical offices don't receive the support they need.
