Really? I thought most of the excess cost of healthcare in the US is due to the artificially restricted supply of doctors, causing them to have extremely high salaries compared to similarly demanding work in the US, or to the same work in other countries (although US salaries are super high in general). But the article kind of handwaves and vaguely blames big business or whatever.

Theres a shit ton of administrative overhead which makes the doctors salaries quite small in comparison.
