What about the patients freedom. He has the freedom to die if he can't afford the best treatment. Thats some choice. For a doctor to be able to make a great living, I have no qualms with! in a free market medical system where there was a national health care system, the great doctors could charge rich patients like "you" exorbitant prices for their services and still perform their services for the govt. mandated price for those whom could not afford it. The creme of doctors would rise to the top and only work on wealthy patients, thereby assuring the rich motherfuckers still got the best money could buy, but in the same instant, the poor motherfuckers would be assured some value of treatment. Aren't the doctors supposed to live by the hypocratic oath or something like it, instead of their accountants code! Come on Vi, look at the positive side of universal health care. Maybe they could help all the street crappers to find a better life and stop defecating on your pressious commute!
