We know the number one cause of burnout as physicians, but the number one cause of the decline of health care in this country may just be the insurance industry. Such a wasteful system that frequently doesn’t cover costs despite patients paying an arm and a leg for coverage. A vicious cycle of physicians burning out on patients who are themselves burned out by the insurance industry and costs. Everyone wants a better way, but it doesn’t seem that even this pandemic is the catalyst for change. I suspect that post-pandemic we’ll quickly revert back to focusing upon other challenges in society while temporarily ignoring the unsustainable rising costs of the U.S. health care system until the next mini-crisis. In the meantime, we just try to bill insurance as much as we can helping our bottom line, but only contributing to the overall problem of rising costs. In response, payers have a vice grip on the payment system and physicians who they see incorrectly as the number one cost in their flawed system.
