I hope it doesn't get moved. Intellectual Discussion has become a wasteland.

I am for it, but I understand why some are against. Incentives are the best way to get someone moving. That is why you get better service from a waitress than a cashier, and better service from a Best Buy than the DMV. Their worry is that with doctors making a flat rate, they will not work as hard.

Britain has a comprehensive incentive system in place for their physicians. They get bonuses for getting patients to lose weight and stop smoking. American doctors like their patients to be fat smokers because more health problems means they keep coming back.

When I read "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" I see universal health care.
