Comment Comment by jollybean Family member worked on a board of a hospital, they raised charitable donations to buy more powerful software for the radiologist.The radiologist can now work 10x faster and still bills the hospital the same amount.The Doctor's Guild is exceedingly powerful.I really wish Wallmart or Amazon would get into providing healthcare services on the long tail - a lot of common stuff.I sounds odd but both those companies are built around ripping margins out of the value chain and not keeping much for themselves.Ok, maybe not either of them ... but something like that: The 'Walmart of Healthcare' that revolutionizes cost.Also - there are enough Medical Practitioners who would work there. Enough of them do care about patient outcomes, cost etc.. parent jollybean 5 years ago
