Do you mean we want to erode doctor/nurse pay because that's what's causing high healthcare costs?

It's been awhile since I worked in healthcare but I don't think primary care provider pay is high on the list of most impactful cost cutting improvements



I think there aren't enough doctors to make institutions compete (much) for business.

It's not so much that they take home an inordinate share of healthcare spending, it's that the market is severely supply constrained.


My experience is that doctors are not the primary bottleneck but the system is rather inefficient in many other aspects.

I think if you add more people to a bad system you tend to make things worse. Better to fix the process rather than throw more (poorly managed) resources at it
