The Healthcare Problem

Doctor devaluation is the most concerning problem with healthcare today

Defining the Problem

Healthcare prices increase but doctor compensation does not

There’s two main drivers of healthcare price increases:

1. Provider megamergers

Prices typically increase following the merger of two health systems, as the combined entity gains market share and greater negotiating power.

2. Physician consolidation and employment

More doctors are now working as employees of hospitals, health systems, and medical groups, which tend to charge higher prices than independent doctors.

What’s the trend?

The current healthcare system favors "big healthcare" such as big insurance, large health systems and major industry players.

Doctors are being devalued and losing autonomy while the business people running the system are making patient care decisions; even though they are removed from the doctor-patient relationship.
