You sound like you have it all figured out about what is fair. Just like those calling for a $15 living wage from McDonalds.
So since you have it figured out out, show us how it is done. Open Dr office for getting eralbfamily practice, hire a couple doctors, cash only with a visit fee of $12.
Waiting eagerly for your success story.
Sure. Remove the restriction on the supply of doctors by getting rid of anti free market legislations from pressure groups and protectionists... my clinic will have a dozen docs eager to serve their patients for $12.
The same free market effect has made IT and engineering services so much affordable. But why is medical industry a sacred cow?
