300 USD per hour pays the medical assistants, support staff, rent, electricity, taxes, etc. The number that employee physicians (a much more typical case than private cash-only practices) gross is closer to USD 95 per hour, assuming a 40 hour workweek and an annual salary of 200 000 USD. (Few physicians work only 40 hours per week, so the real number is much, much lower.)

Just give me a Watson iPhone app that kicks me out to a professional if it can't confidently diagnose.
I am appreciative when medical staff is required. But when it's not, ruthless automation must be out into place to contain costs.
