On the recordApril 5, 1994
It doesn't take long to get that way. Mr. Bernstein. This sounds a little trite, because it's a big question. But for 30 years we've rewarded high-tech people and health professional people and basically didn't pay primary care people. And I know money is not the single most important thing, but it is important. And so, if the reform plan could move to reverse that, somehow the incentives would be not only loan repayment and stuff like that, but somebody who worked here could make as much money as somebody who worked--even if it had to be paid more to get to that level than in Charlotte--we would be in a better position, because our physicians get paid a whole lot less out here, a whole lot less, than they do in Charlotte.
