And what, exactly, are the "productions means" for a doc?
You are contolling the doc's means of production by telling
him what he can & can't charge. You *own* his means of
production.
That's Socialism. Even by your above quoted definition.

If I can't afford a new car, I don't buy one.
If you can't afford healthcare, you don't get none. Period. Anything else
means you have to *forcibly* take my dollars to pay for your problems.
How is this not theft?

If something ain't profitable, it's time to move on to another profession.
Fewer doctors will, ultimately (and without government intervention),
lead to higher income for those that remain -- assuming sufficient
demand (which, I think we can agree, there is).

I'm kissing no ones ass. I'm simply a small business owner who doesn't
want you, or anyone else sucking off my profits. Mine. I *earned* them.
When you have your profits, go ahead and give 'em up if you want. Forcing
me to give up mine is, still, nothing more than common theivery.
I'm neither left, nor right, and I'm not kissing anyone's ass.

Y'all fuckwits took over $80,000 (U.S.) from my wife and I in 2005
to pay for your bull*** handouts, government pork, unnecessary bombs
in an unnecessary war, and god knows what your fuckwit government
pukes in washington decided to spend it on. $80,000. Think about that.
I've given my "fair share" thank you very fucking much. You can't have
any more, and if you want to try, I'll meet you at the door with a loaded
..45
