I think that *pay for performance* is a conservative approach not a liberal

Sounds like Norm is suggesting a "Pay for Performance" type of social 
system that is also being proposed by the Democratic Congress in Washington  DC.
    I am somewhat conservative in my thinking, and am  about 5 standard
deviations to the right of Attilla the Hun politically, but I  also believe
that they who do not work as hard, should not be paid as  much.    For everyone
to get the same pay, same car, same TV,  same work hours, same food, same
news, same everything, sounds more communistic  than progressive.

-Should  a surgeon be paid a smaller amount for being on call than a
surgeon who is not  on call?
- Should an on call surgeon be paid extra if they come in and see  a
non-paying patent vs the surgeon who is on call and sees only paying  patients

Bottom line should a surgeon be paid in relationship to the  amount of work
that they do
