Now, which system would a doctor perfer... one where he gets paid $1500 per patient (private) or one where he is paid $500 per patient (public). What would be his motivation to put ANY effort into his work in the public system, in a system where their responsibilities are split?

Note: figures are completely made up, but I strongly believe that a private system would pay doctors significantly more.
