As well they should. If they cant, many will not go through the hell it takes to become a doctor to make less than $100,000/year. These top people will go into other fields. Leaving less qualified people to become doctors. Nationalizing health care will also cause taxes to increase significantly. Especially for people that make over $100,000 a year.
Yeah, well I never understood why anyone would want to become a doctor anyway, especially nowadays. No offense.
But won't failing to nationalize healthcare just mean that as costs continue to rise, more and more ppl will not have healthcare coverage and therefore not be able to pay? Sadly, it seems as if things will eventually reach a point at which it will become in doctors' best interests to back a nationalized system that can control costs by rationing.
