Doctors in Canada and Australia charge as much or more than US doctors (within the context of a universal healthcare system). This is the most absurd scapegoating. If you want to look for excessive expenditure, I encourage you to look at:
- The enormous glut of administrators including absurdly well paid CEOs which has expanded non-stop for the last 40 years.
- The absurd profit margins and profiteering by the medical insurance industry.
- The relentless rent-seeking by 'accreditation and certification' agencies like state medical licensing boards and subspecialty boards.
- And at this stage we don't even need to begin talking about pharma and device companies.
