We have to remember health care is the biggest price fixing scheme in America. Someone or group is coming up with these numbers. Why do I make as much as I do as a radiation oncologist compared to a PCP? Some group in DC negotiatiated my pay.

However I did enjoy the article and agree. However there are way more variables. One is the incentive to have physicians-scientists, 2 to cover the cost of the uninsured and underinsured 3 pay for research 4 have radiation oncology departments support other departments in the hospital etc

Certainly many other smaller issues - sadly I think little money is for science and research within the ctp structure / site neutrality today - even AHA I don't recall mentioning it, but I'm sure these issues help support their stance.
