And more than that, there is the issue of whether our brightest will continue to choose to go into medicine when they can have a less stressful life and make more money in other areas. The person describing the problems with Canada's social medicine mentions they aren't recruiting enough doctors in Canada.. If you make yourself study and work and commit to a grueling residency for many years after others have graduated and earning a living, it seems right to me that you SHOULD make a lot of money as a skilled doctor.
Now those who are more high minded and maybe more left of me would say, HAH...another money grubber, but I just say it like it is. Socialized medicine discourages medical vocations, and makes medicine less good. It makes people wait for needed procedures, and does not allow them to choose their doctors.
I don't like anything that smacks of socialized medicine, but we both have worked to have good insurance and saved to have money for health needs.

We know that answer.
