Why not? You expect Medical Doctors to do this, so why shouldn't you PHD's have to? "Whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!" Changing the subject is one way to discuss. Someone observed, Bill, that you must not have traveled much. I had hoped for a better retort than the one you offered ;-). But, for sure, you've not spent much time sitting in emergency rooms in public hospitals in inner cities. The degree to which health could be improved by a decent supply of preventive medicine with enough government incentives to attract a decent quality of practicioner is incalculable. As for the public education as compared to public health provisions, tuition as state universities is, almost without exception, less than private ones. State control of teaching is minimal. Some state funded institutions are as good as the best private ones in certain areas of work (Michigan, the California system before Reagan took an axe to it, etc.). Most public k-12 education in this country works. No reason in the world why a similar formula would not work in health.
