When doctors go Galt

HotAir.com reports:

What happens when government regulation makes it more expensive to bill for medical services than providers receive? More and more, providers opt out of those systems like Medicare and Medicaid, and patients have to go out of pocket to see specialists. And if you think that will change in universal health care, think again (via Instapundit)

"Who is John Galt?"

Perhaps one way to get rid of all this socialism nonsense is to let it run wild; let it run its course. When it has run its course, destroyed the society, and fallen down, like the good ol' USSR, we can try re-building everything again, based on sound, scientific, time-proven principles that need no appeals to mob mentality as socialism does.

It would be painful years as this disease runs its course, but at least when it's all over, no sane person can argue that socialism can work—it has been tried in USSR, and it would have been tried in U.S. by the time it's all over. Only the mentally ill could possibly claim that it could ever work in the next thousand years.
