Believe it or not, most doctors get into the field because they truly enjoy helping people. It's interesting to me how often arguments in favor of socialism devolve into "but people are greedy, selfish, jerks." And then the solution to that is to put those greedy selfish jerks into government jobs providing the same services.

Most people are good, folks, otherwise no society is going to work!

Exactly why they would be okay with a reasonable pay cut for the public good. Because they're in it for the public good and helping people. So lets put them in a position they can help everyone who comes through the door without demanding their visa card first.
