"Learn to code" is the key revenue generation strategy in the US healthcare system.

Defensive Medicine - following pre written "cookbook" guides and ordering unnecessary tests, all to avoid medical malpractice liability, does increase cost. However, blind subsidization, esp by govt, creates much more of a problem.

Asymmetric liability; the big awards from malpractice insurance suits (how did you not run X test on patient who later died of rare cause Y) are part of what make hospitals insist on a lot of unnecessary care.
