I have many friends who are doctors. There is the salary they make, and then there are all the extras. Some have used their salary to buy the equipment in their office, and charge thru for equipment usage (added money on top of salary.)
Some have used their salary to buy the building used for their medical practice, and charge thru the facility fee (added money on top of salary.)
I agree both are "investments" but it is a non-traditional investment where you have a huge edge and a ready customer.

Also I don't think you can come up an example where transitioning from private to state operated enterprise has improved the quality of service. Tragedy of the commons/OPM etc.
