Obamanomics

So let's think about this.  We are adding 32 million people to coverage. The number of Doctors, Hospital beds, Clinics is the same...  Doesn't it make sense that getting an appointment will be harder?   I understand that the laws of supply and demand say that if there is demand a supply will rise to meet it.  It takes 2 years to build a hospital. It takes 8+ years to educate a doctor. How is this situation going to be anything but pain for this country for a least half a decade?

Insurance benefits will have no cap for payout, and I believe that they can raise rates...  but to handle this rise you can get a subsidy. So if I am not taking advantage of the full subsidy then I am leaving something on the table right? 

Can anybody clue me in on how this is supposed to work?  I'm afraid all that we have achieved is change for change sake.
