Okay, I am not entirely serious here and yes, I am a public school teacher, but imagine what would happen to health care costs if health care professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses, etc.) were paid on the same scale as teachers? Are doctors that much more important than teachers that they demand a much higher salary?
I am guessing they would have to live on half to three fourths of what they are currently paid. Allowances could be made for education: the more university credits a person earned, the more they were paid, just like teachers. Imagine "merit pay" for doctors!
Health care costs would drop by at least one fourth and without significant government intervention.
Oh, and teachers would also find it a little easier to survive on their salaries.
