>Being your own employer is the only way to take charge of this.
One step further, being your own doctor when ever possible is even better. Bring out the rusty knife for surgery, a club for anesthesia etc. most surgeries are not rocket science.
Even if you had all the money in the world, the medical system is very inadequate, for a variety of reasons. If you find a doctor that is competent AND conscientious, good for you, else you have to fend for yourself. Philosophically I'm an anarchist of sorts, and I believe that doctors should not have monopoly on practicing medicine. So if you can get away with doing safe medicine, be it pills or surgery, go for it.
