Wouldn't it be nice if...

Doctors at the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic work for a straight, fixed salary. Doesn't matter how many treatments or procedures they do. I like that. Does a lot to contain the cost of medical care. Seems to me that those doctors do their work because that's their job, their vocation, their craft, their art, their purpose in life. They don't have to get obscenely rich. Little wonder that the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic have outstanding reputations. Wouldn't it be nice if the entire health care system in the U.S. followed the examples of Mayo and Cleveland? --Jim Broede
