I wonder how much the rate of pay for, say, a Villages Health doctor would have to increase in order to entice more of them to come and stay. I also wonder who makes the pay rate decision and on what it is based. Guess I don't even know who "owns" Villages Health. If it is the developer, then I suspect they've thought it through and war gamed it to no end and probably have contingency plans for all scenarios. Reckon they read this TOTV stuff? :-)
