I don't think a reasonable person would conclude that - it's merely a statement of facts. You'd think a natural place to start fixing things up would probably be drug prices and administrational overhead.

For big pharma, it might be reasonable to slander the study by implying that it's attacking pay rates for doctors and nurses.

Drug prices and salaries are listed as a cause. Medical workers migrate to the West due to salaries / standard of living.

High drug prices in the US have been explained as someone needing to pay for development. Addressing "administrative" costs takes money out of the pocket of the worker.

Perhaps drug prices should throughout the world.

I have some bridges to sell you later.

Addressing administrative bloat could mean killing jobs and systems that are unnecessary while paying those are needed well. That money should be taken from the pockets of workers in useless jobs and returned to those paying too much for healthcare and insurance.

I agree. I said the administrative costs / worker thing for a lark.
