Maybe you should look up how hospital and medical systems function in places with very much more socialised health systems like in the scandivian and european countries (where health outcomes are superior btw ), and how doctors and surgeons and other specialists function there .
How many hours will surgeons work , probably no more than than now in both private and public hospitals.
I think you are confusing the hours worked by residents (doctors who have completed there degrees and learning the ropes (invariably in public hospitals (as they do the training and do the widest range of procedures , the private hospitals mostly only take on low risk , highly profitable procedures) , and that the experienced guys and specialists work pretty much 9-5 but are on call as consultants if needed (in hospitals).
Where can they earn more under a proper medicare (public funded health system) , same ways as now if they are that way inclined.
Or do you advocate a system like in the USA .... where if you've no health insurance you'll not be able to get health care or hospital care and insurance costs families several thousand dollars per annum.
I guess you liked what Little Johnny wanted to do. Anyway
