I don't think it's as many people leaving the medical system as we may imagine. I don't know if you all remember the protests but nurses at Houston Methodist medical centers, they were in the news for a bit. Out of over 61 thousand medical employees total at their facilities, only about 150-200 people actually quit or were fired for non compliance with the vaccine mandates. That percentage of those actually quitting vs the number staying is not enough to create a parallel medical system. Maybe you could have a couple rather small clinics, but very low numbers quitting in any given area don't create a very big surplus of health workers at all.

I do think if the medical people keep getting boosters the system will eventually implode anyway as all our educated providers begin to die off.
