Answer to Question 1
One problem is that the health-care field is not as subject to the laws of competition and the marketplace, as are other economic realms. Health-care consumers, for example, cannot as readily shop for bargains and are heavily dependent on physicians, who benefit from high health-care expenditures, to tell them what health services they need. Another problem is that health corporations can be tempted to cut back on services, and possibly on necessary health care, in order to increase profits.
Answer to Question 2
Savings through automation are not as easy to achieve in the health field as in other industries. Advances in health technology often involve completely new procedures, which call for new technicians, rather than replacing something that had been done less efficiently by older technology. So, improvements in health technology often result in the need for more, not fewer, workers.
