it seems that a very large majority of young docs upon completion of their postgraduate programs no longer become independent practitioners - they become employees. It would seem so. To many, a government takeover may mean little more than having to answer to a different boss. And I can see where that might happen. Yes, doctors might go along readily were there to be an initiative to nationalize them. But that would not happen unless there were an initiative to nationalize them. Doctors wouldn't likely initiate such an initiative. So where would it come from and what would trigger it? As I already said, I can't see that happening. If France did it, then there might be a contingent in the US wanting to follow suit. If some international body did a study that determined that the Brits had the best healthcare in the world, that might influence us. But you know that isn't going to happen. We have a hard enough time filling physician jobs in VA. The military has been using more private doctors for a while now. I don't see what would trigger a trend in the other direction.
