If I were going to be a physician and spend all those years in school and training, you'd better believe I'd want to be the BEST physician in my specialty. I'd be working hard and competing with others in my field to be the best and brightest... to come up with new and better techniques and devices. Here, the really good doctors are rewarded financially, and they compete with each other to be the best so they have a steady stream of patients.
When healthcare is delivered through a government and doctors are paid a salary... then what is the incentive? Here, if a doctor does shoddy work, word spreads and he looses business. But if the government pays doctors a salary and assigns them patients, then there is just no incentive to be the best.
