i dont disagree. i often have this argument with people when talking about the "evil" drug companies.. and why they make such huge profits from cheap drugs.. if we left it up to ourselves to fund research into drugs they would never get invented ..
but thats beside the point.. as a doctor you take an oath to treat everyone equally . period , there are no waivers.
there will always be incentives for doctors regardless of who they are paid by, we just have to realise this.. you gotta pay doctors a reasonable rate. this is the incentive.
