The costs of this system have risen every year, but still not as much as we pay if you look at % GDP. Something like 12%-19%. System as a whole is ranked #60 worldwide.
We pay doctors and nurses more than everywhere else. You think any if these people would be willing to take a pay cut to lower costs?

We are somewhere in the top 5, but not at the very top. A lot of our healthcare costs come from the medical research. Most of the medical innovation and research happen in the United States.
I used %GDP as the metric btw, not total cost

You could cut physician salaries in half, and it wouldn’t put a dent in healthcare costs.

So, you think people will continue to do the 7-12 years necessary AFTER undergrad to complete med school/residency/fellowships if they are making half the current amount? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Besides, even if you made doctors work for free, it wouldn’t be any sort of significant money in the big picture of medical spending in this country.
