I second this, but make it +0% or else 100% private.

Honestly, we need most medicos to be employees (of the government), and they can start a union to keep conditions and pay appropriate.

Our subsidy system is just funneling money into practice owner's pockets, who set prices based on supply and demand, which is a fucked way to run a healthcare system.

Let's just pay the average medico more, while skipping all the profits were subsidising.
