I can see that particular metric backfiring, but not any worse than what we have, where the only thing stopping a doctor deliberately keeping you mildly ill (so you keep coming back) is his ethics.
I've not seen any evidence of anyone in the medical profession having a lack of customers. When you make an appointment with a GP you usually have to book a day or two in advance if it's not urgent and then there's a big waiting room. Hospital emergency rooms have huge queues, it can be hours to wait if you aren't about to die. You may have to wait years for supposedly optional surgery that merely affects your quality of life. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
