The pay levels for those involved in direct patient care is an example of the inaccuracy of the market in determining the intrinsic worth of much labor. Market principles don't apply because the consumers of the labor are, as a whole, not financially able to pay a sufficient wage for essential services. That is where we, as a society, must determine whether the value of the folks taking care of society's most vulnerable folks should be paid a wage the reflects their contribution to the quality of life - not only the quality of life for the patients, but the quality of life for the family. If we determine that such services have high intrinsic value, we should collectively pay for them.

Regards,
