But the accessibility to that quality, will.
Huh? take me though this.

ETA: It sounds like you expect a vast increase in the number of people seeking treatment that will remain high quality. I'm betting it won't go down like that.

It won't.

But I guess what I would be saying is that for now, the quality of the doctors...as in their education and aptitude for medical knowledge will stay up. Not necessarily the quality of the care they provide.

Granted, I have a bone to pick with national healthcare. A good German friend of mine was not given treatment because of the advanced stages of his cancer. He was denied care even though he had been paying into the system for quite a long time. He passed away. My German roommate broke his arm while I was there. It didn't get fixed while I was there. I left for the United States and emailed him probably a month after I had left. They finally had got to him, but they had to re-break his bone to reset it. Sounds like something I envy.

Well, yeah, until everyone addicted to drugs needs treatment.
