An interesting question that I'm sure would make for some lively debate:
In Canada, all physicians, with rare exceptions, have their salaries capped at a certain dollar amount per year, period. My question to you guys is:
What if physician salaries in the US were capped -OR- if there was just one national health care system that paid an across-the-board rate to physicians for their services on a yearly basis (essentially being a 'cap' as well). Would you still pursue medicine? Let's assume the cap is at $95,000.00 but will increase with the rate of standard inflation.
