A Doctor is a Professional
His Duty is to give Professional Advice, whether or not the client likes it

Doctor is not a salesman whose duty is to go the extra mile to please the client and try to "sell"

But
Few Salesmen Doctors also exist

There are many guys who look for Salesmen doctors
And they will find one
And Will be happy (briefly)
Then
After sometimes will cry that healthcare has become a business

The fact is that
There are Professional Doctors
And
There are Salesmen Doctors

When there are enough Professionals around
After having ignored them and chosen salespeople, don't cry that Healthcare has been commercialized

Health Care exists as a Profession. Here your diseases alone will be treated. Your Egos won't be massaged. You will be charged Less

Health Care also exists as a Business. Here your ego will be massaged whether disease is treated or not. You will be charged more

When you choose the "Health Care as Business" Model, because you want ego massage more than treatment, please be prepared to
1. Pay More
2. Avoid Crying that health care has been commercialised

If you want to Pay less
Please choose the "Health Care as Profession" Model where your disease alone will be treated

Don't expect Ego Massage in "Health care as Profession" Model or

Don't expect Bill to be less in "Healthcare as Business" Model

Chose One :) :)
