I think the key phrase here is equal pay for work of equal value. I think this is something in which progress needs to be made. We know, for example, that women physicians spend longer with each patient. They're more involved in preventive medicine. Some of these things have a strong value, but they have not typically been valued in the past. While I think as a solution it sounds excellent, we have to redefine it a little bit more closely.
Medicine has always been piecework: you see a patient, you get so many dollars. It doesn't matter whether you do a good job or a bad job. So I think we have to perhaps refocus a bit.
