Yeah, pretty sad that being in hospital administration is now typically more lucrative than being an MD.

But don’t forget about the insurance companies - they’re just groups of bankers and lawyers working together to figure out how to squeeze as much money as possible out of every aspect. The worse coverage they provide, the stronger the insurance company gets (the race to the bottom).
Insurance companies are a new level of evil; they fight both the person and the hospitals to pay as little as they can; their practices are in large part what drove hospital billing to be what it is.
