How can you be transparent and accurate from the beginning when the patient first walks into your clinic?

The problem is medical service costs exceed the ability of the customer to pay, not a good business model, unless you limit your customer base which is how it used to work.

Medical services will yield to robotization, especially for diagnosis, just like all the other industries.

When hospitals have to do diversity training, hire tons of social workers to deal with the dregs, expect physicians and hospitals to dump millions into computer programs which just increases their work, when patients dont take responsibility to deal with THEIR insurance, costs will continue to increase.
There is more, and I can go on and on about this.
If you think a robot can unearth subtle symptoms when diagnosing a patient, or be able to stop the bleeder in the OR, then you are misguided.
The only way health care costs are going to decrease is the government needs to stop making rules and regs that is suffocating healthcare. Hospitals should be able to treat and street patients. It should not be healthcare's responsibility to find housing for patients, which the government is now forcing upon the healthcare system.
I remember hospital administration was way more streamlined in the 1980s. Then the government started suffocating healthcare, now administration has thickened so much to deal with these regulations.
