And of course, the more services that get billed, the more allocation they get for overhead as well.
Overhead includes auditing…
Med schools discriminate so badly these days that if you can’t get an older doctor, you should get an Asian (first) or white one (2nd), due to the extreme bias in how much better their MCATs and grades have to be for being admitted at all. Data and visualization below.
Plus they have fewer disciplinary actions and complaints too, as befits better practicing doctors on average.

More on DEI doctors and how the qualified pipeline of candidates for med school is not racially in line with the general population, so med schools targeting population level representation means tons of unqualified minorities are admitted as we’ve seen. And a statistical pitch for choosing an Asian doctor.
Black students make up roughly 14 percent of American high school students but only about 5 percent of AP Chemistry examinees. By contrast, Asian students comprise only about 5 percent of high school students yet account for roughly 27 percent of AP Chemistry examinees. Among black students who take the exam, only about one in five earns a passing score, compared with a majority of white students and roughly two-thirds of Asian students.
At the very top of the distribution—the students most relevant for elite medical training—the differences are especially stark. Only about 2 percent of black AP Chemistry examinees earn the highest possible score of five, compared with roughly 20 percent of Asian examinees. Put differently, there are nearly 50 high-scoring Asian students for every one high-scoring black student.
If African-Americans are dramatically underrepresented among top academic performers yet appear near population parity in elite admissions, then that discrepancy itself requires explanation. It implies that admissions processes are incorporating considerations beyond conventional indicators of academic preparation and performance.
For decades, universities have treated disparities at the end of the pipeline as evidence of injustice and sought to correct them at the point of admission… If the goal is a medical profession both excellent and broadly representative, then the solution cannot consist merely of manipulating admissions outcomes. The work must begin where the disparities first emerge—not where they become politically embarrassing.
