    “A Plague of Bureaucrats – Now 10 Per Physician in US Health Care”
    http://hcrenewal.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-plague-of-bureaucrats-now-10-per.html

    “Thus from 1983 to 2000, the number of managers working in the US health care system grew 726%, while the number of physicians grew 39%, so the manager/physician ratio went from roughly one to six to one to one (see 2005 post here). As we noted here, the growth continued, so there are now 10 managers [includes all non-medical like receptionists] for every US physician.”

    Dr. Black pointed to this from CNN: http://money.cnn.com/2014/10/08/news/economy/deficit-2014/

    I wish this would make “Third Way” austerity freaks go away.
