Getting Care From A Doctor In the Top Tenth Percentile of Quality Or Top Tenth Percentile Of Income

Some would argue that the doctors in the fee for service work harder. Perhaps it's time to ask that they stop working so hard. There seems to be an inverse relationship with working harder and providing better care.
