At my last physical my doctor when on a short rant about insurance. Told me that the reason that there is so much burnout and a high suicide rate among medical professionals isn't due to their primary job function, helping people become healthier, it was due to having to deal with insurance companies bullshit.
It must really suck to be a good hearted doctor in that system. When every incentive is to push unnecessary interventions and you must encounter patients that can't or won't accept your help because it would ruin them or their family financially.
