Medical Bureaucrats

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
--Eurythmics

Great chart showing the rise in medical bureaucracy. Growth in administrators outstrips growth of physicians by a greater than 10 to 1 margin.


Medcrat growth really took off in the early 1990s. What changed during this period? Simple, cookie: The onset of 'managed care' and growth in socialized medicine.

A patient's nightmare. A bureaucrat's sweet dream.
