You are conflating too many things and casting a wide net. You are right in that there's too many specialists, but again, they are behaving like rational actors in a game that is rigged against them. Why not understand how the rigged game came to be instead ?
Do you know the history of why hospitals are nonprofits ?
Do you know the history of socialized medicine ? Hint: its not pretty, at all.
What other industries you see outpacing inflation ? Hint: its not cell phones, cars, or airplane tickets.
I'd recommend looking deeper into those 3 if you really want to understand the causes and the philosophy that is driving spending in lamborghini healthcare. Because what you are advocating is going to literally break patient service. We are already seeing a version of that disaster in the UK, and more recently, in CAN.
Its lovely to waive the "they are too greedy" index finger. Its simple. It is comforting because it is binary and assigns blame. Yet the world is more complicated than that.
But who's not greedy ? Are you not greedy as a dev with 250K ? Who are these angels that are not greedy? Where do these angels live ? Its funny that its always the other person that is greedy, its never the one saying the word.
