What if doctors were really paid what they were worth? Mad About Medicine runs an experiment:

Health care in the United States is reimbursed at below-bargain basement rates. In businesses in this country where you pay bargain basement prices you get bargain basement quality and service. It is only through the ethical nature and dedication of a majority of doctors in this country, who choose to practice blind to the reimbursement and treat individual patients equally and fairly, that this does not happen and medical delivery remains of the highest quality.

Unlike a piggy going to market, doctors are lambs to the slaughter of the business and political agendas at work in this country.
