who is to say that 20 scanners per 4 million is a correct supply of healthcare? The US system has abundant incentive to overspend. why do you think there are so many unnecessary tests, procedures, & endless drugs? everything in our system is incentivized to make more money by doing another test, selling another pill. more & more the system is financed by the taxpayer which is like a bottomless piggybank to wall street & Big Healthcare.
