OK, if Ohio was a state in 1803 why was any action necessary in 1953 ?

However if you accept that, that means the titles of nobility act is a part of the national Constitution, therefore a member of the bar cannot hold office.

Law is for the little people.

Without Ohio as a state, the original thirteenth never passed. With Ohio as a state retroactive law is allowed.

Catch 22, but we can't even seem to catch 21.

Give people less and they tend to give less in return. Basic fact of human nature.

simple solution, make it a criminal (federal) offense if they slacken their care and treatment of patients due to lower pay.

"Esquire" is not a title of nobility.

Even in Merry Olde England, gentleman were "called" to the bar, not "created" barristers.

So what are the top 2 things you would concentrate on fixing if you were elected President? How would you go about these things?

1. Rebuild and continue to refine the wall of division between church and state.

2. Appoint Supreme Court Justices (when applicable) in a fair and balanced manner with the protection of the Constitution and the freedom of all American citizenry in mind.

3. Review and if possible work to eliminate or redirect through legal channels any and all misallocation of state resources set in place by the previous administration, including, but not limited to, government programs, interior task forces and their associated operatives.

4. Focus on alternative energy and work toward wresting our country free of its excessive dependance on foreign oil through pursuing solar, wind, nuclear and local oil sources.

5. Offer incentives for companies to invest in the American worker, not outsourcing labor to foreign countries.

6. Work to rebuild our standing with the world by refocusing on the known loci of terrorism and fostering a productive dialog with hostile nations.

7. Work to rebuild the public trust in the office of President and both parties in the House.

8. Invest in new technology research and innovation, particularly alternative energy, biotech and medicine.

There's more, but that's what comes to mind at the moment. Sorry for the eight, rather than two, but this day and age is filled with so many challenges and problems that must be addressed.

Agreed. This is the fantasy of every inexperienced manager on the first day.

The workers, at best, respond to such top down pressure by working when someone's looking.

Can't do that, it would be impossible to police this. either you'd be sending innocent doctors to jail left and right, or you wouldn't send the guilty to jail, or both.
The only way to implement something like this, is rather then trying to police doctors who are already out there making money, set up a medical system similar to the Office of Public Defenders for lawyers. Have a special group of federal paid doctors in a federal hospital for people who can't afford medical care. This way you provide medical care for people who can't afford insurance, you provide jobs for young doctors, and you don't kill off the medical professon.
Also, remember that they spent 19 years on average in school studying and working as an intern in countless hospitals to get where they are. They've earned what they make, their not just leaches trying to steal money with their high prices.
