RE: “Doctors will be similar to Russia — paid about $40-60,000 and if you want real care you’ll (a) pay cash or (b) fly to nearby islands and nations that’ll set up top shelf medical care for Americans with $$$.”

***********

Are you saying docs are paid $40-60K now? Or in the past?

I was in the old USSR in 1977 and the big deal then was their claim that doctors earned the same amount as taxi drivers. Not much of an incentive to do well and go to med school, was there?

Americans would not accept care from substandard physicians.
There would be a revolt.
It was different in Russia-as they did not know any better.
There is no way in the US physicians would accept 40-60,000 salary.
My husband is a physician- if that occurred he could teach high school biology for the same wages.
No way, no how, anyone is going to take that level of stress job for 40-60,000.
It would kill health care.
Of course, they could pass a law that made physicians slaves.
