>> if the doc squeezes in 5 more patients/day in his same 8 hours, there are no additional expenses. What do you think are extra expenses....?

Oh, really? You don't think doctors offices have to pay anything for those skimpy gowns they put you in? For the little appointment cards they give you and the encounter form they use to track the procedures in the office? For transcription, radiology, and the additional payroll they will encounter for increasing their number of patients per day by 10-25%? For outside lab costs, or the little cups you pee in, or vacutainers or paper for the EKG machine? Software licenses, computers, phone lines, and health insurance for the additional nurses they have to have to see more patients? The money they spend for CLIA inspections and pest control, paper towels and pencils and pens?

All that crap is just free?
