1/3rds of US medical costs go to billing overhead.
In any given year of their career, Primary Care doctors earn less than software developers in a coastal city. (e.g. by the time a doctor graduates school and goes through residency, they may be in their 30s, at which point software devs are pulling down more $).
- chris_va 4y agoIt used to be that a crazy high number (20%? 30%?) went to the uninsured patient that waited a long time to come in right before you, too. To be honest, it feels like 50-75% goes to overhead, and we just need to figure out a nice system to align incentives to eliminate it.
