Joseph,

I could not agree with you more. I am now employed in a large entity that is fast-moving to population based health care and, in all honesty, it is not quality of care for which they are striving but rather a piece of the federal pay out. These "quality seekers" IMO are simply those that are prostituting themselves and are interested primarily in "following the money". And I work for a "non-profit" health care system. But, having now said that, I guess I myself have become a lady of the night because here I am...certainly not happy about what I am doing but at least able to put food on my table and have the money to buy new high heels and a tube top.
