And, what will happen when potential doctors just don’t go to medical school because their salaries will plummet? What about those in medical school who want to specialize choose not to do so because there will be no incentive (higher pay than GP’s) to put that much more effort and pay into furthering their education?

We’re forgetting some old, time-proven lessons.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages. Nobody but a beggar chuses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens.
