Here’s a crazy idea, we could just employ health workers directly. Cut out the practice owners making a profit/charging rent to the doctors practicing out of their location.

Just not make the insane mistake the UK made by not paying health workers competitively. There’s a reason we have so many ex-NHS staff working in Australia, lol

We are super wealthy per capita by international standards, we could absolutely afford it. (If we bothered taxing the multinationals shipping our minerals overseas…)
