[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without question a major contributor to the cost of our healthcare is personnel costs, including highly paid doctors and nurses (relative to the rest of the first world). People are mostly wrong to blame insurance companies, which are low profit margin. [/quote] Nurses and doctors are fairly compensated for their expertise (years of education), it's insurance companies making $$$$ for profit. A doctor making $250-300K has 8+ years of education beyond undergrad (med school and residency/interships/etc), has malpractice insurance, and I quite frankly want my medical personnel to be adequately compensated. Also, you are paying for the $$$$$ xray/mri/medical equipment to be maintained/purhcased/replaced when needed. Those machines are not cheap [/quote]
