this doctor won’t work for the government under national health care

Oh, come on...this doctor cannot wait for the national health care system. I mean, after all, no more 24 hour shifts in the operating room or intensive care unit. I can have union representation and qualify for bailout money. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, other physcians will be able to take Christmas off to spend it with family instead of same lame excuse like he might have to work...hypothetical situation, only :)

By the way, for anyone who is interested in my real opinion, please see my four year old tagline...

This ER doc will be spending a lot more time at the beach, and a lot less up all night, or working weekends and holidays.
Hell, we might even benefit (at first) from national health care as at least we will get something from the 30-40% of patients we now see for nothing.

When they treat doctors like so many bus drivers, and pay them the same, then there better not be any grumbling when the doctors behave like the bus drivers' union.
