The other big cost is supply control by the AMA and other physicians associations. In other countries, being a Dr is a prestigious job, but not one that often pays mid-six figures. It's going to be challenging to get into a new, cheaper system without fighting the existing population of well-compensated physicians.
- mcguire 8y agoI believe you are asserting that you are claiming that medical care in the US is more expensive because there area restricted number of doctors. The US has roughly 2.3 pretty 1000 people; the "High income OECD countries average" was 2.86, which seems comparable, especially since small countries necessarily have more per capita.
