When Canada passed the health act, the doctors were all up in arms about the restrictions on their incomes. As it turned out, they're still very well paid. If you guys want to fix the problems with your health care costs, you're going to have to stick it to them to at least some extent, along with the equipment and drug manufacturers. This will not mean the end of the world; it certainly didn't in the rest of the world, and I can't think of any reason why the US would be any different.
