22. Good luck lowering income of medical providers

We can be more efficient but that means somebody gets less money. They will fight to keep the money.

In other countries there are limits on medical charges. A doctor in Japan has a book with maximum prices for different tasks. Treating a cut up to five inches ling X yen, etc. A medical scan which costs $1000 here might be limited to $112 in Japan. That is an accurate measure of relative cost for many scan images. Yet the govt in Japan carefully studies costs to make sure their medical providers are paid a fair amount.

We could and should impose similar cost controls but good luck trying to pass a law cutting doctor incomes forty percent.
