Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven't seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening...

This feeds into so many other systems as well, part of why medicine is so expensive is because of how expensive it is to become a doctor, both in sheer cost and in the barrier to entry for those less wealthy. Ditto for architects designing housing, city planners, economists, etc.

I go to a private practice doc because the mega hospitals have a 6 month wait for my needs. It costs $170 for a med check every 3 months. My doctor owns an aeroplane.
