How about the Federal Government mandates that each State and territory develop, maintain and fund health care for legal residents of the state or territory that are uninsured.

Then, as a pilot that commutes from nearly anywhere, I can choose residency in the state (rhode island for example) or territory (think Saint Johns, USVI, etc.) that does it in the most efficient manner.

Rhode Island might pay for a physician's medical school tuition at Brown University. In return for the tuition, the good doctor works for four years (receiving regional airline first officer pay) at a state run hospital that provides preventative through comprehensive care for the uninsured Rhode Islanders.

This last paragraph satisfies the socialist, the conservative and regional airline pilots that claim, because of the safety nature of their professions: "we should make what doctors are paid..."
