Amen Denice. That is not only the problem with socialized medicine but the
problem with socialism as a whole. When the producers find out that the get
penalized and the consumers found out that they can consume without
producing, dumbs down the whole system. I want to get rewarded for my
excellent work ethic, not have money, honor or whatever taken away from me
to equalize the field. That's also the problem with participation trophies.
It cheapens the trophy for the first place team because "everyone gets one".
These are my views and do not reflect the views of my employer (necessarily
:-) ).

Ah, you've just highlighted the problem with socialized medicine. Without
responsibility and accountability, there is no sense of doing the right
thing. The system I fear the most with Obamacare. While in principle,
socialized medicine sounds great. In practice, not so much. Ask those in
Canada, the UK, Australia, Russia. How's that working for you?
If you don't have a vested interest in the financial outcome, then the less
work the better.
My two cents.

THAT, Denice is the crux of the problem here, I work in a government
hospital
where THEY DON'T value your expertise and skills.
ALL of our docs INCLUDING the Director are private Consultants who just come
in once a week or fortnight for a 3 hour session and then they're gone.
They treat the staff as though they were their own private practice staff.
HOW can a unit be run by a Director who is only there for one 3 hour session
every 2 weeks AND during the busiest Retinal Clinic when their is no time to
grab him to discuss udgrading equipment/software, or talk about staffing
issues,
workload etc..
It is like speaking to a brickwall. They just don't get it !!!
Just don't want to "play their game anymore".
