absolutely. human self interest and it consequences are in full display on the health care issue. give me mine, screw everyone else, but never admit it! btw, that's the core message of the bible - until people care about others equal to themselves, society will be a failure up until such time as we would destroy all flesh from the planet. that was one heckuva prediction because we are almost there.

Take a look at the Cleveland clinic. my.clevelandclinic.org You would be more likely to have doctors concerning themselves with the health of their patients as distinct from practicing medical entrepreneurship. There would still be needless procedures, but it would likely tame the current epidemic of them. It would also dampen the enthusiasm to pursue the profession among those who mainly see medicine as an opportunity to be wealthy. Doctors could continue to pursue wealth by developing new technology to which they can claim intellectual property rights -- this would address part of your concern about the need to push the envelope of care towards more difficult cases.
