But bear in mind, this is a much bigger picture, because everybody looks at the physician and goes, oh my gosh, it's all their fees and all this stuff.
we're about 1% of healthcare cost, okay?
You still have a hospital.
You still have multiple other physicians, care providers, then the actual equipment, then the actual in surgery, you know, the actual devices or implants that we're using.
All that, all of those are line items, okay?
And so if an insurance company comes back and says, no, we actually, we authorized it.
We said in writing, good to go.
Well, we changed our mind.
Like, how cool would that be if that was your business?
Yeah.
So there's a number of things.
But they think they do.
yep yeah and guess who's flying on the private jet tell me the insurance company ceo i don't see too many of my doctor colleagues flying on private jets no look at the administrative the administrative cost burden the acceleration of the administrative pool relative to physicians over time right the population's increasing we could we can agree on that i hope right
and yet the physician the absolute physician numbers in the united states is a much slower uptrend but where the explosion occurred earlier in the 2000s was in the administrative roles so administration doesn't just mean a hospital ceo okay imagine this as a physician if i own my own practice
in order to keep to give quality patient care in a timely manner i now have to employ some number of people that are the pre-auth experts the actual people going back and forth yeah and then the insurance says we're going to approve it and then after you do all the work they come back and say actually we're not going to pay you so now those people now have to submit appeals and you go round and round
The process, so again, the administrative burden, if people want to know where their dollars are going, they are going to the administrative burden of healthcare that has become so outrageous.
The problem was two, three decades ago, as physicians, we, I think we failed.
Obviously, this is long before my time, but...
I think some physicians were reckless.
There weren't the guardrails to ensure that, hey, I'm being compensated fairly for my time.
