The discussion then turns to healthcare workforce dynamics. While the number of physicians has remained relatively constant—merely marginally increasing per capita—the number of healthcare administrators has surged dramatically, by more than thirty times relative to doctors. This burgeoning bureaucratic layer is largely attributed to compliance costs introduced by Obamacare, which has transformed healthcare into an industry heavily burdened with administrative tasks.
This expansion of bureaucracy not only inflates costs but also complicates access to care, making the system more inefficient and less responsive to patients' needs. The emphasis on administrative compliance appears to siphon resources away from direct patient care, contributing to longer wait times and diminished quality.
