It bothers me that people continue to oversimplify problems and spin yarns about how "these people did this" and "those people did that" and that it's all due to one or two groups of bad or greedy actors.

The problem is so huge and so complex that it's worth considering that all of the proposed causes are contributing factors. There is now a systemic dysfunction that is broad, multi-faceted, and tough to dissect and study. Ultimately, many incentive systems are misaligned. The fact that the problem does have so many facets seems to always give rise to these distracting conversations where well-meaning commenters drive the discussion away from the actual findings to their favorite hobby horses instead.

RTFA. Doctor pay is an actual issue. They did not claim it is the whole problem. But it is a problem, and there are things we can do to tackle it.

And no, for the record, I am not disagreeing with you. But please, don't distract. Solve problems instead.
