Thank you for the reply. As in all things, I'm prepared to be wrong, if that 7% is indeed even ballpark accurate.
btw I appreciate being called uninformed (which I dont dispute and find no offence in) rather than stupid or pigheaded or whatever. The point of talking about things is to share and increase our understanding.
For what its worth I did check this today and it seems to be more like 20% of healthcare is going to providers, not 7%.
However in the grand scheme of things this still isnt that bad, and I do think doctors/nurses deserve a good compensation, so given the problems associated, maybe we dont go with removing medical licences as a solution to healthcare costs
Hey, good attitude to have. I've been seeing this type of exchange less and less on HN, but agree completely that it's (reassessing their positions) something more people should be doing / willing to do.
