    Hospital administrators are as greedy as they come don’t be fooled into thinking anything else. Even when they a non profit.

      Not in the UK, where the meme is set. NHS hospital administrators don’t get a cut of any money because there is no money.

      It’s pretty obvious that creating an explicit profit motive makes things worse. This isn’t a hypothetical, people in US pay far more for healthcare per capita than people in countries where there is socialized healthcare.

      Doctors’ wages have been decreasing when inflation is factored in just like all other workers, despite the skyrocketing costs of health care. Guess who pockets the difference.

      Most people won’t do their job if there’s no pay involved. Including doctors, nurses, and hospital admin.

        In most cases it’s probably fair to say that hospital administrations do not give a single shit about passing on those profits to the doctors, nurses, and other support staff. They will give the barest of minimum to everyone below while writing fat bonus checks for themselves or giving out pointless board positions to family and friends.
