I don't want a business relationship with my doctor and most doctors don't want that either. That is doctors who want to be doctors and have an interest in providing health care. Of course they want to have a good income. But a doctor will have a very good income in the public health system and it has massive administration savings for doctors compared to going it alone. In bad old days here the biggest cause of personal bankruptcy was unpaid medical bills with all its attendant home forclosures and family homelessness and breakups and suicides. Why would anyone ever consider it an option to go back?
