We get more efficiency out of nearly every sector of the economy. We grow more food despite an ever decreasing number of farmers. The problem is that the incentives aren't aligned with health care primarily due to third party payer system and onerous regulations. You ever wonder why there is a line of people outside of urgent care every day to get tested for covid? Presumably, there are cheap tests that be administered at home without having to see a nurse or doctor. Or if you really can't do that you can train someone how to administer tests in a few hours and have that as a service. But in the US at least, it's nearly impossible to do these things. It took until April 2021 for the FDA to approve at home covid tests, and they're still not popular or available (at least I haven't seen them) https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/0... |
