Don't look at doctor salaries. Look at per capita costs. And by that measure, the US is far more expensive than Switzerland, the Netherlands, or any other count

Don't look at doctor salaries. Look at per capita costs. And by that measure, the US is far more expensive than Switzerland, the Netherlands, or any other country.
It's not that there's something uniquely good about those countries' models. It's that there's something uniquely bad about ours.
- m0zg 7y ago> Don't look at doctor salaries. Look at per capita costs. Per capita costs are in large part (though not completely) determined by how much providers charge. Why shouldn't we look at "doctor salaries"?
- beat 7y agoBecause when you look at doctor salaries out of context, you get a misleading answer. I looked it up. The US health care system costs 25% more than Switzerland (the second most expensive in the world). That's not because of doctor salaries.
