"thus an economic threshold for the number of doctors allocated limits their accessibility"

"One solution is to lower the standard for those that graduate from medical schools"


Can you provide evidence of the above in an existing NHS service?

Becase I I have attested, I have never known any lack of accessibility in th UK and I've lived all over.


"or lower the expectation for doctors graduating on a high $dollar$ value for their services"


Can you explain what this means?


"since Canada and the U.S. have a capitalist system based on a worker's value I can never see doctors going into the profession with moral, humane values foremost in their mind."


Doctors in the UK, USA and canada all do it for the same reason ... because its a good career! Doctors in the UK aren't doing it for nothing - they earn over £100,000 year at least - NHS or not.

Besides which the private option still exists here so even with an NHS it doesn't mean that we live in any kind of totalitarian regime.
