Health care is 16% of the GDP. That’s a statistic that we’ve all heard. But health care spending is not spread evenly throughout the population. In fact, a very small percentage of people consume the majority of our health care costs.

Who are those high-end consumers? They are, for the most part, the patients that I’m currently caring for in the Intensive Care Unit. Thus, who controls 1% of the GDP? ICU physicians do.
