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!
