This piece does an exquisite job of highlighting why capitalism and healthcare is fucked. And it's everyone at the top. The high climbing monkeys who think they are more valuable based on their position in the tree and thus more deserving of the bananas we all picked.
The disruption CEO's want is to shake up the system, deregulate, and make it easier to extract money from patients while being able to set salaries lower with s snap of their fingers. They're mad they can't make big splashy moves for big money returns like Wall Street guys.
Oncologists are getting cuts of the meds they prescribe? Jesus fucking Christ. Hard to see an ethical concern there.
Sacrifices patients have to make? Apparently longer want times and less healthcare/meds because those at the top will get less cash and administrators won't get to spend their time redecorating entire hospitals every few years.
Money is the biggest factor. You want to fix healthcare, extend "Do No Harm" to a patients financial health (a holistic approach) and make docs liable for it just like they would be for malpractice. Make healthcare systems set actual fucking prices and put them on a menu. Deny insurance companies the ability to deny claims.
You want to fix it? Take leverage away from those at the top. They'll be very upset at being told what to do. Also, this will be the first time they were told what to do.
Yeah you have the answers but there is no will to do this wall street and their lobbyists would freak !
