I understand why you need to charge me $2000 to have an entire hospital ready in case I need stitches at 3am. But I get annoyed when you try to play it off as having to charge $85 for an aspirin. Just be upfront and say, we charge $100 a minute and this is going to take 15-20 minutes.

- banannaise 3y agoSo then you also add a constant per patient, but then there's an incentive to be rushed. Gosh, it seems like profit incentive is a really bad way to run a healthcare system, doesn't it!
- SilasX 3y agoEven systems without a profit motive will have to economize, and therefore will track resource usage and discourage waste. The NHS still has e.g. PSAs telling people not to go to the emergency room for non-emergencies.
