The part about forcing 14 minutes per operation terrifies me.
If I'm on the table, and something unexpected comes up, how much pressure is the surgeon under to take a short cut to ensure he stays under 14 minutes? Or make a mistake because he's rushing to meet the deadline.
I'm a pretty staunch capitalist, but this further reinforces for me that medicine needs to be completely divorced from the profit motive. Costs should only be considered in order to treat more patients better with the available resources. But never to increase executive pay or shareholders' stock price.
