One thing I learned last year when I had surgery for cancer is that the doctor makes relative peanuts on the deal.
In my case about $3500 out of $65,000 total bill.
Frankly I was quite surprised.
So doctors could work for free without making a large impact on the total cost, at least in that case.
Can’t wait. Soon there will be all union staff in the health care system! How cool is that?
(Until the system crushes itself under it’s own weight.)
