According to AHIP (https://www.ahip.org/health-care-dollar/ https://www.ahip.org/health-care-dollar/) about 22% of healthcare cost goes to medication, 20% to hospitalization, and the rest goes to doctor visits, medical tests, emergencies and admin. If the US just improved the public-access clinic network by allowing foreign doctors and nurse practitioners to provide more triaged, 24/7 urgent care, we could save a lot of money on insurance (maybe as much as 25%?)and you could probably leave the rest of the system alone. In short, we don’t need to see a high-paid physician for most of our healthcare needs. Electronic health records mean that our data is available instantly to any provider.
