Not opposed to becoming a civil servant at all...indeed I would prefer it. But...you can't have it both ways. First you say physicians are government employees. Then you say "every corporation in the private sector is eliminating pensions and other benefits". If physicians are government employees then they should be treated like all other similar government employees e.g. teachers, police, bureaucrats each of whom have handsome pensions, overtime pay, vacation etc. If they aren't government employees then by definition they are independent contractors and any independent contractor can, in fact, incorporate. I will happily become a civil servant the day it is offered in my province.
