Is increased administration killing the U.S. healthcare system? A question that deserves some consideration based on this chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, detailing the physician growth between 1970 and 2009 compared to the number of administrators that were added during the same period. This article is not going to be very popular among many in the current healthcare system which will include Medical Administrators, Insurance Companies, Attorneys, Risk Managers, Regulatory Agencies, Finance Directors, Pharmaceutical Companies, Federal and State Governments, and Investors. There is quite an entourage that represents the layer upon layer of admin, red tape, and confusion in a system that is driven by capital and massive amounts of it.
