Hippocrates Shrugged

What if "Atlas Shrugged" was told in terms of physicians and the healthcare industry? Leading physicians and other healthcare providers and professionals go on strike. Could this story be told? How would it start? End? Discuss.

(Unrelated: Ghost Town entry over at Big Sky Dave. Just FYI.)

It's not without precedent:

This is in the future, after our politicians melt down and enact socialized health care (with probably a 2-tier system for those who can afford pvt. insurance).

Once docs are finally forced to become union employees, there will be strikes. And they'll be harder to replace than air traffic controllers.
