So what if one building takes cash and another doesn't. Set the pricing structure then if it is a concern about a mass exodus of public employees to the private structure. If they limit the price for certain procedures would it not help keep the gap of wages close to being competitive?

There are 10 people in a grocery line being served by two cashiers and we decide that one cashier will charge a premium for faster service, say a $10 surcharge. So 2 of the 10 in line decide to pay the extra money for faster service.
Is the guy 8th in line better off now since he is no longer 10th in line? I'd rather be 10th in line being served by 2 cashiers rather than 8th being served by 1.
Or are you absolutely assuring me that the number of health care workers in the public system will remain exactly the same?
I also think it is a human rights issue. I do not believe that the man with $1,000,000 in his bank account deserves to get his pacemaker before the man with $10 in his. Your worth as a human being is not determined by your net worth.
