Look up the share of health care spending that goes to doctors. It’s maybe 6-10% of overall costs. (Often reported as share that goes to “doctors and clinics” ~20% which includes salaries of nurses & other workers, etc) Biggest share goes to hospitals.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThat was just one easy example that came to mind, since there is specifically a federal program that exists to get doctors to go where they do not want to be. Obviously, nurses/janitors/hospital management will want more/less to live in certain areas, and maybe that is offset by lower land costs, utility costs, legal costs depending on state's laws and courts, and there is a whole host of factors that can cause differences between two places.
