I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Most healthcare workers got into the field for reasons other than money. And with a well-funded public healthcare system, I think the US could still support pretty good wages. For example, the VA and military can attract a pretty good standard of doctor, partially through the offer of paying for medical school and with excellent benefits. I don’t think that every top specialist will opt to serve the rich in private hospitals, or that there would even be adequate demand from those rich to require the supply of every top doctor.
