#4 continued......doc never practices again, or finds less stressful job > lawyer makes killing/patient gets little > many docs quit practicing > patients can no longer get in to see docs, or fees skyrocket > socialized medicine > like Russia, midwives become docs and get paid nothing > lawyer still makes killing > quality of care sucks > people with $$dough go to another country for medical care...
