Yes and the number one kind of interference that is causing high health care costs is the limits on the number and capacity of medical schools which in turn reduces the number of doctors.
Litigation and preemptive testing has much to do with costs.
Bingo! All the other suggested remedies in the article matter precious little when the supply of physicians is severely restricted.
“...one kind of interference that is causing high health care costs is the limits on the number and capacity of medical schools which in turn reduces the number of doctors.”
I have heard this before but can’t find good research although I suspect it is true as well as the fact that medical professional organizations (AMA) actively restrict number of doctors to restrict competition through government regulations re: internships.
Also restricting number of medical professionals is cost of training. Certainly that tax incentives could be used to ease this burden on professioal education.
Moreover I have read a couple of times that the rate of health costs has actually decreased but again not much literature only remarked sometimes. Apparently due to the fact that in the US expensive medical equipment was purchased as soon as available as well as new drugs.
If we want a true discussion about reforming our health care all of these topics would be researched but there’re not.
