A lot of us are saying we need to increase the pay of nurses, but we also believe that medical care is too expensive. So, where is all that money going? There are a lot of flippant answers but they never seem to lead anywhere actionable.
But yeah, in general, this is a problem (healthcare in general, healthcare expenses, nurse job experience) where almost all other countries with similar wealth are doing so much better than us, it shouldn't be that mysterious to solve it, right? It's not like, who knows if it's even possible to do better! Like, we know it is... figuring out what the difference between them and us isn't trivial, but it should be easier than something there isn't a model for.
The most obvious difference would seem to be how insurance (and universal coverage thereof) is handled.
Guess what my first major investment was?
