Doctors don't come to Hawaii because they aren't compensated competitively, the physician shortage makes the workload insane and the hospitals outside of Oahu are substandard. They are outdated both technologically and in care delivery. They also don't like hospitals with inadequate staffing. More mistakes and lawsuits occur in those and malpractice insurance premiums reflect that. At least this is what several doctors I know have told me. Having been a hospital staff nurse for twenty years I could go on indefinitely about healthcare. The real problem is that healthcare is about money, not people's health. Lots and lots of money going into lots and lots of pockets which always trumps the needs of the citizenry in a capitalist economy.
