Can I please ask you to consider the problems with the chart you have shared? The vertical axis is percent increase not actual increase. It is helpful to have that context before you load your argument on it.

Yes, I'm sure you would have noted:

1) That point is written very clearly just below the graph by the author.

2) It doesn't fundamentally change the argument. The rate of increase in the number of administrators has significantly outpaced the increase in physician numbers as costs have increased.
