Two people take twice the vacation of one person, have twice the healthcare costs, etc. It is almost always cheaper to have 1 person work 16 hours than it is to have 2 people work 8 hours.


Not if you count the cost of errors.

Also, just bring in more affordable doctors from overseas. Have them take a test to qualify.

US doctor comp is much higher than any of our peer states due to industry protectionism. Other industries don't put a cap on training and licensing and haven't been so distorted.


Personally, I haven’t had a US born doctor in ages. In most areas it’s typically Chinese, Indian, or Vietnamese. Nurses it’s almost as common too.
