The problem is deeper. The entire structure of the industry makes no sense. Doctors need 12 years of training after high school (the first 4 years of which is useless). Then they end up doing a job where 95% of the work is trivial and could be done by almost anyone with a bit of training.

I know a guy training to do lasik surgery. Turns out it's easy. You could easily train a lasik tech to do it, but that's not allowed. We require it to be done by a doctor making $500k a year who has 12 years of higher education, only 1 year of which is focused on lasik surgery. But we insist on continuing this overly broad training when most modern doctors only practice in a single specialized area. It's like if we required the guy at the oil change place to have a PhD in mechanical engineering. Of course it's going to cost a fortune.
