Capitation is a sucker bet. There is no way that physicians can predict the future and what the population costs will be. This asks physicians to be actuaries, which is not our expertise.

@realdocspeaks I think at some point though you have to admit physicians play a huge part in the overall expenses to the system. Why are billions billed in unnecessary procedures? It's so easy to waste patient's money & the gov'ts. Physicians need some skin in the game. It is what it is.
@out2sea90210 @realdocspeaks 1/3 of all health care spending is unnecessary administrative spending, overuse of inpatient care due to poor primary care access, marketing and profiteering. Physician pay makes up a relatively small amount.
@out2sea90210 @realdocspeaks You might really want to do some research on healthcare economics. We have little authority any longer yet have all the responsibility.
@out2sea90210 @realdocspeaks I’d like to see data that shows physicians play huge role as well as what constitutes as huge role. What I’d consider in unnecessary labs/imaging/consultations is a result of insurance requirements for end treatment approval & following gold standards for med legal liability.
@out2sea90210 @realdocspeaks Docs make up 7% of healthcare spend…so no. You’re very wrong.
