Weirdest subplot I’m tracking: failing hospital economics. This is something that can only happen in the US because they’re run for profit (or on individual nonprofit basis). Often owned by PE firms. Seems their high-margin “products” are a) elective procedures b) ER visits...
I wouldn’t overfit that one data point without tracing the entire stack of systemic incentives. I’m sure some ER doctors are in it for profiteering, but I’d bet the median doctor of any kind is in the game to save lives more than the admin orgs are.

It's not one data point. I have researched it well. Spend some time researching it yourself. These docs bill whatever they wish. Many even fly from state to state doing shifts where there are no docs on staff. And no, it is not all ER docs. Luckily, legislation is stopping it.

Ok fair, I’ll weigh that point accordingly
