I think all healthcare in this country is overpriced
That’s cool. So why defend an obvious case of overpriced health care by insisting the clinic is exceptional? An exceptional clinic would - presumably - be exceptionally accessible. Throughput is as much a function of quality as individual results.
Hospitals have finite resources.
That’s fine. Dehydrated people require a finite medical intervention.
The most skilled and ambitious health care professionals
The best doctors and nurses should get paid the most.
You’re using an arbitrary metric (best doctor) to assign a discrete value (most pay). That’s inevitably going to result in every doctor with a high opinion of oneself to charge a higher rate than their peers.
The mental gymnastics it took for you to make that leap is impressive. Do you think all doctors put the same amount of effort into their work? I can tell you from personal experience that some doctors are pretty lazy and don’t deserve above-average pay. On the other hand, some truly go above and beyond.

If you think it takes a feat of mental gymnastics to note that a saline drip shouldn’t cost $5000…
Are you okay?
What?
