The government cannot replace the GOOD doctors that resist, plan and execute a Galt.
The government can only put out a bunch of affirmative action enslaved by debt quack hacks to kill off the population, and they won't keep it secret for long.
Taxes will be astronomical, doctors will be paupers forever working intern hours, and jackboots and malingerers will be rolling in entitlement dough. If you're really sick and unconnected, you're dead.
