I think it's the other way around, more people are depending on medicare and madicaid as they become jobless. More doctors need to be hired to cover this gap. Health care and food systems don't collapse as stocks market and other financial systems do. People will not become less sick just because there's an economic recession. People will always need health services at the rate is expected. However, I guess people will not go to the doctor as regular as they do when it's not an emergency.

Agree..actually people will get sicker(depression, suicide attempts) and lack of healthcare will get chronic diseases to be decompensated...but I don't think it will translate in hiring more doctors or increasing residency spots...hiring NPs or PA or MA is a lot more cheaper than hiring doctors...Manyy hospitals are being filled by this kind of healthcare workers..
Recesson will make suffer everyone,,there will be no scape
