Lets face it, here in America profit motives and competition have always led to greater cost control and effectiveness. Making doctors government workers means they have set hourly schedules, salaries with little to no promotion opportunities. Compared to the best doctors in the private sector who receive large raises, earn promotions, and work overtime. In the private sector the best performing workers are rewarded. Where is the incentive for doctors to offer the best possible care? Government workers have iron-clad job security.

BTW, I never said they would quit.
