I understand that the cost of healthcare is rising rapidly and we need to figure out to control it. But doctors are the absolute last people responsible for this mess.
Telling the currently employed doctors to work harder is almost insulting.
Why don't we start by holding big food responsible for pushing unhealthy junk food for decades ? The biggest cause of death is cardiovascular diseases - not lazy doctors.
What about big pharma ? A huge part of rising health care cost goes towards paying for pills - and it's public knowledge that these companies have almost criminal profit margins. I do not think the biggest buyer of luxury yatch are doctors - who are still busy paying back their student debt.
Or the insane admin bloat created by insurance companies - why does a medical professional's judgment about their patient by a function of the the patient's economical value - To me that is inefficient - not doctors spending too much time with their patients.
