Oh, dear god...

7%

I printed that figure in large type hoping it would sear into your brain. Seven percent. That's the percentage of the national health care expenditure that goes to physicians.

Looking for pork? Try the insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and the high-tech medical device industry.
