The providers aren't even considered. They're more like cattle for the Beef industry - necessary but only because they don't have a product to sell without them. Healthcare is all about executive salaries at the very top and theyeven made it illegal for doctors to own a hospital so they wouldn't have to worry about providers becoming executives!

Well yea if they built it today, everyone would think “we already have the Mayo Clinic. Why are they ripping them off?”
