They are not -- they are on the side of property prices going up.
Physicians want to get paid 300k/yr. Pharma is obsolete by computers and paid over 100k/yr.
Not to mention the pharma companies and hospitals.
Its why healthcare only gets worse with legislation.
And pharma companies? You think computers are going to automate drug discovery? Not for a long time, they won't.
That will require hammering downward what doctors (for one example) are earning. No more radiologists making $650k per year.
The side conflict to that, is you have to simultaneously make it a lot cheaper to become a doctor, otherwise you generate a shortgage of doctors that gets worse by the year.
As the Federal and State governments take on ever larger responsibility in the US healthcare system, I'll be curious to see how this problem is dealt with. I suspect at first they'll simply avoid the conflict entirely, and try to keep paying healthcare workers what they're presently earning. However, you can't have universal healthcare in the US in any manner at the current expense levels, it's financially impossible. Something will have to give, and it ultimately will have to be the costs in the system.
One thing that might help is eliminating the undergrad requirement before medical school.
