    To a greater degree, you're right, it's the Boomers who do it.

    That's quite a line there.

    In the America I'd like to have, doctors get paid proportionately with their impact; meaning, a 34-year-old would be paid as much as the ILB Coach at the local D-1 football program, and thus would want to give the elderly the best possible care they can receive.

    You know, like they get in civilized countries, aka the Democratic Socialist ones.

    Just so we're clear: You think doctors in socialized medicine nations are paid more than American doctors on average. Further; you're under the impression they're paid as much as sports coaches?

    I don't think a 34-year-old doesn't want to work in a nursing home because of the money. I think a 34-year-old, in the early stages of their medical career, would be interested in different kinds of medicine than health maintenance and hospice care.

    That's because it's not a case study.

    It would have been more surprising had this NOT occurred.

    poindexter- I don't know the answer to that. This model doesn't work. The virus killed it.

    There are too many lawsuits in the system right now, never mind years from now, for it to continue as an industry without seismic change.
