1. Rationing of care already occurs. You get what you can pay for.

The AMA seems to have forgotten that doctors exist to care for the wellness of people. Sometime in my lifetime, being a doctor became about being rich, not healing people. My uncle was a doctor and as soon as he had enough to retire on he did. Spent the last 40 years of his life on cruise ships and world vacations. I wonder if he ever thinks twice about the patients he treated. But his attitude about the profession doesn't strike me as unusual for doctors. The greedy gravitate to the money and many do their best to keep up appearances. But to be an honest healer and medicine man takes heart which cannot be replicated out of expediency.
