[quote=Anonymous]Under the current system only a small percentage of physicians are truly altruistic. If we broke the for profit model of medicine in USA in favor of a system like most developed countries with national healthcare, physicians would have heavily subsidized education and a comfortable salary but not a ticket to private plane and yacht and luxury car and mansion ownership, and the profession would draw more people of good character and fewer charlatans fraudsters and greedy careless jerks with horrible bedside manner. And no, there doesn’t have to be a wealth incentive to have cutting edge science happening in the medical profession. One of the very best hospitals in the world where people go when nobody else can help them is the Mayo Clinic, a hospital with a team approach whose physicians - all of them, including elite specialists - take home a salary not a pile of cash generated by a billing machine governed by optimal profits.
