Is there evidence that the high cost of healthcare is due to paying frontline medical workers?

This is an honest question I don’t know the answer to, but based on my analogous experience with academia and the high cost of tuition, I would guess the answer is “no”.

I think that's only a fraction. I agree we should eliminate licensing and regulations, which in part are responsible for burdensome administrative parasites.
