100% agree with the drain on hospital budgets, at least so far as I know.

Dunno how 'Medicare for all' will work out if you simply start paying providers what Medicare currently pays. Dictating a price might work in the long run but would be plenty hairy in the short.




A lot of people that get paid a lot of money for doing absolutely nothing will lose their job - tough luck for them.

I can sympathize with the on-the-ground employees but the businesses they're keeping the lights on in are leeches on the healthcare market - I posted separately on this article going into the specific functions of PBMs, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Providers and Insurers if you're curious about the details, but there is a ton of inefficiency here.


I'm thinking partly in terms of paying US health professionals what they make in places like France. A certain amount of hilarity would ensue.
