We don't have as many Doctors per capita as we had 20 years ago Is that so? I don't really know. But the point is -- Medicine changed to a great extent, from private to corporate, and most doctors are now employees -- so, how come the costs are skyrocketing? Could it be that corporate and hospital system based healthcare is in fact more expensive than private? My take is yes, it is more expensive. Hospital systems and corporations charge more than docs used to charge, and politicians play along.
