ridiculous statement obviously made by someone who doesn’t run a business
All those conveniences cost
lets do math
whats a fair salary for a doctor?
I think $200K is low but lets go with it
how much does the doctor need to generate/bill to make that money? Besides for basic overhead, rent etc which is a large percentage of gross, there is the biggest fixed cost, payroll. Each staff member is costing 40-50 k per year minimum. So to make your experience at the doctor more convenient, you need more staff and less patients taking up your time. The price of employment is going up while the reimbursement is going down, how can a doctor who takes insurance afford to cut the amount of patients he sees?! just the opposite, he needs more volume
In your scenario, doctors will be out of business bc they need to have a salary that justifies being in school till they are 30+. Otherwise, no one is going to med school.
