Even if you drive down staff salaries physician, nurse, and everyone else working in the hospital, the profits that are made from those changes would simply be pocketed by the CEOs and MBAs in the system.
Many business which successfully reduce costs don't pass on those savings to consumers.
I will also point out medical students graduate (after 4 years college and 4 years medical school) on average with $210,000 of debt and make $60,000 dollars a year while working 60-80 hours a week for 3-8 years of residency. While yes doctors after residency are well compensated they have gone through 11-16 years of post secondary education by the time they achieve these salaries. Cutting salaries without reforming medical school tuition and residency salaries would be a mistake.
