“Wow! The revolution might start much sooner than I thought”
To add, one or all of the below things happen:
1. The 47% Taker-Class expects nothing but the best healthcare service (their fair share), don’t get it, have to wait for it and start civil unrest.
2. The Maker-Class goes Galt or a lessor version. Cash and barter for private medical treatment becomes the norm, forcing the Taker-Class into even longer waits for service, again making the system ripe for unrest.
3. Physicians, willing or unwilling to submit, will be conscripted for “the common good”. Sort of like the draft....forced labor will begin with the medical community.
4. Some combination of #1, #2 or #3.
IMHO, I think cash-only/barter only medical clinics will be springing up in international waters on hi-tech yachts....
Don’t forget the flood of incoming Third World physicians who will work for pennies and be worth every one!
