“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.” http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/10/can-commercialized-health-care-system-contain-ebola.html
